Yeah, I know, that’s a major low blow. But hear me out.

So here’s a photo of two shelter dogs uploaded on Angels Among Us Pet Rescue that went viral on Facebook. Why? Because they were hugging before they were to be supposed to be put down.

The caption that went along with this photo read – 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.

Poor dogs, right?

But hang on – there’s good news. This is what Angels Among Us Pet Rescue posted soon after.

THEY ARE SAFE!!! There are no words to tell you how happy we are that these two best friends are safe and together! …
