7-year-old Boy Adopts Traumatized Dog And Comforts Him: "We Love You So Much"
We all know that dogs are people's best friends, but the bond between dog and child is something else!
The degree to which they understand and protect each other cannot be described in words.
An example of such a connection is a story from Louisiana, where a 7-year-old boy stunned the entire Internet with his heartwarming act.
After he and his mother adopted a pit bull mix with a difficult past from a shelter, this kind boy decided to give his dog a little peace of mind.
He wanted to make it clear to the dog that from now on everything will be fine.
But the way he does it has melted the hearts of millions of people around the world!
Before he was adopted, Neil, the pit bull mix, was a victim of animal cruelty.
This blond dog was admitted to Companion Animal Alliance in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with severe cigarette burns.
"He was also the only dog in the shelter that didn't bark," Neil's new owner told me.
At the shelter, Neil was a traumatized dog who needed some time to adjust to the new circumstances, but his life soon took an unexpected turn!
The boy and his mother arrived at the shelter to pick out a dog and that's when they saw Neil.
Despite his difficult past, this sweet pit bull mix showed no sign of aggression and he was so gentle with the woman's son.
The shelter offered exclusive adoptions for $15 in an effort to promote animal rescue.
According to his mother, the boy, who desperately wanted a dog for himself, saved up his pocket money and paid the adoption fees for the dog himself.
The three of them went home and Neil started a totally new life, but what happened after his arrival melted everyone's hearts!
The boy was very sad when he heard about Neil' s difficult past and he did everything he could to make the dog feel better!
He knelt in front of Neil, who was curled up on a couch looking sad, to reassure him.
"We love you so much," the boy said.
Then he gave him a very sweet pat on the back and Neil wagged his tail.
This sweet moment was filmed by Neil's mother, who posted it on her TikTok account.
In no time, the video went viral and gained millions of viewers who were amazed by the boy's compassion.
A few weeks later, Neil crawled completely out of his shell and embraced his new life and his new family with his paws wide open!
The boy quickly became his favorite person in the world.
The two formed a great bond and now they experience endless adventures together every day!
Neil, once a traumatized dog who didn't even get the chance to be a dog, is now the happiest dog in the world!
@the_crazyzoo My son wanted a dog of his own and the shelter was having $15 adoptions. So off to the animal shelter we went! This sweet boy was seized from his owners because of abuse. He had cigarette burn scars on him and was afraid of loud noises. He was also the only dog in the shelter not barking. We took him out in the dog park area to get acquainted. I wanted to make sure he didn't have any aggression because of the abuse. He was so well behaved! My son fell in love and we brought him home! Pits get such a bad response and he's by far the sweetest and most cuddly one of them all! My son wanted to reassure him that he would be loved and kept safe and it melts my heart ❤️ #dogsoftiktok #dogsoftiktokviral #dogstory #pitbull #pitbullsoftiktok #pitbulllove #pitbullterrier #animalsoftiktok #petsoftiktok #petstory #rescuedog #adoptdontshop ♬ original sound - TheCrazyZoo
