Most of us would find it unthinkable to move and then abandon our pets.

Yet we read about it more and more these days, and this has happened again.

Molly, a 10-year-old sweet pit bull, was tied to a tree in the backyard after her owners abandoned her.

When the house was sold, the owners did not want to take Molly and the cat with them.

We don't know why that was, where they moved to or even where they came from.

The heartbreaking story of Molly

Molly has always been a loyal dog, but unfortunately her original family could not return the same love.

When they sold their home to a young couple, the family made a list of items they wanted to keep, and Molly, unfortunately, was not among them.

@geaux75 The people that sold our house to us left behind their 10yr old dog they had since it was a puppy. I was so stressed we wouldnt get the house and something bad would happeb to her. We are going to maje her life so good. She will never be left all alone tied to a tree. 😭😢@roodytoots ♬ Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) [2018 Remaster] - Kate Bush

"They just didn't want her," said April Parker, the home's new owner, on TikTok. "They wanted their beehive and tractor, but not her or the cat."

Molly sat tied to a tree and waited for days for her first family to return, but they never did.

A glimmer of hope

Fortunately for Molly, a friendly couple, April and her husband, bought the house.

They agreed to include the animals in their purchase agreement. Once the pen was on paper and the house was legally theirs, they rushed to meet the animals.

In a heartwarming TikTok video, April walked up to Molly and assured her that she would have a new home.

"Baby girl, you're getting a new home," she said softly. The video went the rounds and was viewed more than 4 million times.

The video showed Molly's turnaround from confusion to joy.

April promised, "We are going to make her life as good as possible. She will never again be tied to a tree all by herself."

Molly, now relieved of her leash, seemed to understand that she was in the presence of dear friends.

A new life

Since her rescue, Molly stayed close to her new owners and did not lose sight of them.

April recounted, "She keeps following us around. Really so sweet."

Molly even enjoyed car rides, a new and exciting adventure for her.

Molly was not the only one who adapted well. The cat from Molly's previous home also adapted to the new family.

Molly was joined by two cat brothers who welcomed her into their cozy home. There was even a touching moment when one of the cats comforted Molly during a thunderstorm.

@geaux75 We had a big storm this morning and Molly was having a hard time. Joofus got on the bed and started comforting her. It was the sweetest thing. They got snuggled up and Molly went to sleep. Animals are amazing. #mollysnewlife #petsarefamily ♬ I Won't Let Go - Rascal Flatts

Molly's new life on TikTok

April started a TikTok channel under the name"Molly's New Life" to share her happy adventure.

On the channel you will see warm baths, yummy snacks and lots of hugs for Molly - everything a puppy could ask for in life.

As a 10-year-old puppy, Molly never thought she would get a second chance at life.

But fortunately, a loving family found her just in time and since then her days have been filled with joy.
