This Minnesota Dogs’ Heartbreaking Story May Make You Cry

It's not everyday that I get choked up when I see something online.  I typically only see ads now, which is annoying.  For some reason, this ad for glasses with interchangeable frames is in front of me nonstop.  I don't even wear glasses normally!  But one photo popped in my newsfeed yesterday that had me in tears.  It wasn't just the photo though.  It was the story that went with it.

I dare you to NOT tear up when you read this story about a Minnesota dog.

Dog In Minnesota Is Wondering If He Really Is a Good Dog

If you are a dog lover, in about 30 seconds, I have a feeling that you are going to question if there is enough room to add just one more furry friend to your loving home.  The reason is because of Scout.

Scout is sitting in an animal shelter right now in Rochester, Minnesota, and here is his story:

I keep telling myself that I am a good dog. A good boy. I like the staff here. I like the volunteers who take me for walks. I even like the food! I don’t know how I ended up in an impound. They said my time was up and boy, that sounded scary! Luckily, someone made sure I came here to get more time! I think I would really like a dog friend and a person to rely on. I am 6 years old and in great shape (as you can see!).

Give me a chance? Come meet me, maybe? - Scout

You Are A Good Boy, Scout!

I think one of the comments on the Facebook post sums up all of my feelings,

"You are a VERY good boy and deserve an amazing life!  I'm so sorry humans failed you.  We aren't all like that"

Is Scout The Perfect Fit For Your Family?

Scout, if I didn't have two large dogs already, I'd bring you home in a heartbeat!

Our team had an opportunity to play with some of the puppies at this shelter and show them some extra love.  Scout isn't the only one waiting for a new, loving home.  Click here to see all of the pets that are available right now.
