Animal lovers worldwide were moved by the picture, which showed her looking heartbroken by her circumstances at the High Plains Humane Society (HPHS) in Portales, New Mexico.
The mournful dog’s picture captured the genuine sense of isolation these animals suffer when they are placed in a shelter among strangers.
As she stares up at the camera and holds the bars of her cage, it seems as if a tear is streaming from her eye. Thousands of people shared her photo because they were saddened by.
Her situation, despite the fact that animal specialists pointed out that this couldn’t be a tear since dogs don’t cry when they are sad—instead, they make a whelping noise.
Adoption offers poured in, and within a day, this sad dog was taken in by a kind family, and her tears were replaced by a beaming expression of happiness.
