Sometimes, it’s love at first sight when you know you’ve met your soul mate after a first encounter. It seemed to be the case with Amber’s daughter and her “soul dog” Bruno, and a touching Instagram video showed how a chance encounter led to an unexpected adoption. The family has since posted several follow-up posts sharing the senior dog’s adoption journey and updates on how he has settled into their family. The more you learn about the story, the more you understand their instant connection, which will have you crying tears of joy.
Owner’s daughter connects with her ‘soul dog’ and adopts him
Amber and her daughter were running errands when they noticed an adoption event and decided to pop in to share love and attention with the furry babies. There, her daughter almost immediately connected with Bruno, her “soul dog,” and one thing led to another, resulting in his unexpected adoption as the video showed. The mom has since shared extensive updates while making her viewers privy to his backstory. In one such video, she explained that the pooch’s first and second families surrendered him, after which he was at two foster homes.
The main post captured the moment the girl connected with Bruno and showed a couple of moments from their first meeting. The senior dog looked evidently excited as he reciprocated her love, shook hands, and shared kisses. “I don’t wanna leave him,” she said, and even seemed ready to pay her money to be able to take him home. Their plans to spend a little time at the event changed when they met Bruno, as they bonded with him and finally brought him home. The owner also noted that “the timing was actually perfect” despite it not feeling right at first.
In more videos since the adoption, the dog owner has revealed that Bruno might be about 11 years old and that he has adjusted well into their family. However, the canine has formed a special bond with her daughter, who now shares most of her time with him and even tucks him into bed at night. Amber further revealed that, notwithstanding his age, the dog still has his puppy self within, but gets quite tired by night. It has been over a month since he found a new home, and the posts have prompted an outpouring of love and affection from Instagram users.
