Husband Cries The Entire Way To Shelter To Adopt A Dog

Britt Graham’s husband, Paul, had always longed for a dog. When she caught him wistfully looking out the window, watching other people with their dogs and wondering out loud if they could get one, she decided to launch a top-secret mission to make it happen.

She reached out to a friend at the local shelter and was sent a picture of a puppy. A short time later, Britt and Paul drove to the animal shelter with Paul crying the whole way there.

When they arrived at the shelter, Paul sat down on the floor for the meet-and-greet with Moka the puppy. The puppy sprinted into his arms and flipped over. Britt said at that moment they knew “this was our baby” and that they were taking her home. She says that getting Moka was a wonderful decision because Moka has healed something in her husband’s heart.

Viewers thought so too. One viewer commented on the video, “For a short moment, he went back to his childhood of wanting a puppy for so long.”

One person wrote, “Moka is his spirit animal. She dashed straight into his arms because she knew he is her home!” Another agreed, writing, “Puppy certainly picked him. She knew her mission.”

Another observed, “My father used to say to never trust someone who doesn’t like dogs or any person your dog doesn’t like. Animals can sense kindness in people. And this puppy knew this man was a good guy. They’re both lucky.”
