Two dogs were set to be put down after reaching their adoption deadline, but then something amazing happened.
According to Huffington Post, Kala and Keira “hugged” each other, which was captured in a photo and ultimately saved their life.
The amazing photo went viral on Facebook with a heart wrenching post that read the following:
“I’m Kala. This is Keira. We’re so scared in here. The people working in the shelters see how scared we are but just told each other that today is our deadline. We have to have someone rescue us or we’ll be “next.” Keira is black and not a “real boxer,” just a mix. She’s so brave and tells me it will be okay no matter what happens. She tells me to be brave too but I don’t know if I can be. Can you see our faces. Keira knows what will happen. You can see it in her eyes. She’s putting on a brave face for sure but I can feel her heart beating fast while I’m clinging to her. If no one saves us, someone will take her away from me. I’ll see her as she goes down the hallway. She won’t come back and I’ll cry. They’ll come for me next and I won’t be as brave. We’ve comforted each other while we were here. She gave me hope when I had none. Now it’s over. Unless…”
Shortly after, Angels Among Us Pet Rescue shared the post, and two hours later, the best friends were reported safe and on their way to the vet.
“We just received word from our Angels volunteer that Kala and Keira are safely in the car and on their way to a vet -All thanks to you. From the time we posted on Facebook until the time the dogs were out of the shelter and safely in the car…2 hours and 6 minutes. That’s how you take action!”
Hugs really do have magical powers! We love stories with happy endings!
