John Hwang, animal enthusiast and photographer, met a dog in a shelter that completely stole his heart.

A sad dog in a shelter can barely lift its head to ask for a hug.

John Hwang, animal enthusiast and photographer, met a kind dog at the Baldwin Park Animal shelter in Los Angeles. The guy often visits such facilities to spend time with animals in need of affection, and it was there that he saw the 10-year-old dog, who was quite depressed and curled up in a corner, not moving at all.

The Dodo was informed by John. “My first reaction was that this dog was shy or sad and didn’t want to engage with me.” “I was amazed when she came to me when she saw me.”

Indeed, as soon as she saw John, she got down on all fours, and he observed that she was shivering slightly.

”She seemed awkward, but the way she moved was adorable,” John adds. She was dirty, but her heart was pure.”

The dog wanted to be loved. She started by sniffing John from a safe distance, but before long, his body was leaning against the fence, as if he longed to be part of a family. Of course, John began to caress her, and they spent time together relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.

”We certainly could have sat there all day,” John continued.

Although the dog seemed scared at first, she quickly showed John all the love she had to offer, teaching us not to judge a book by its cover or a dog by its appearance. He feels like he’s in a shelter.

She came to find a loving home and her dream was fulfilled. It turns out that this dog’s small action made others feel so much affection and share his story. Thousands of people have seen the images of John Hwang on social networks.

”A lot of people were in love with this dog and were trying everything they could to try to get her out,” John says.

Leashes of Love Rescue, which specialized in rescuing dogs from high-death shelters, was among the many devastated by the dog’s plight. Cathi Perez, a volunteer from the group, picked up the dog, called “Annabelle”, as soon as the shelter registered her for adoption. When Annabelle was brought to Cathi, she was standing, offering kisses and waving her tail.

”She was so thrilled to get out of her kennel,” Kathy says. Simply for a walk outside. The second time she came out, she was delighted. She wasn’t the same dog anymore.

She was taken to the vet for an examination to cure an eye infection, which was one of the many health problems that needed to be treated. She will be picked up in a few days by a lady who has already provided her with a permanent home.
