Adopting a dog, a senior one at that, can truly turn into a life-changing experience for you. There are hundreds of shelters currently looking for a forever home for countless residents, so they can have a second chance at life. These organizations also potentially save so many from euthanasia and help them find loving families. Sharing a similar adoption story, a pet owner demonstrated the perks of taking in a senior dog, a Ukrainian rescue, in a heartwarming Instagram video that proved it’s so worth it.
Owner shows why ‘senior dogs deserve to see the world’ in viral video
There are many benefits of bringing home a senior dog, but this pet owner’s side of the adoption story proved why “senior dogs deserve to see the world.” When families start looking for fur babies to adopt, they often lean toward the younger, energetic ones because of their unfamiliarity with the upsides of older ones. The dog parent shared a frequent question that pops up after they took in an old Ukrainian rescue, and these reasons are justification enough that everybody deserves a second chance in life.
In the compilation, the subtext shared the senior dog’s inner thoughts, “Thanks for bringing me everywhere with you, Mom.” The following clips show Ditta’s travels across the world and the memories she made along the way. From the first fish she caught, sharing food with her mom, watching beautiful sunsets with dad, to taking car rides along the beautiful countryside and joining in on every adventure, the canine shared how life has looked for her since the miraculous adoption.
The senior dog’s adoption video established how much those little moments mean to your pet. The post showed Ditta’s gratitude toward her mom for all the things, including but not limited to belly rubs, good food, cuddles, and countless adventures, she spoiled her with after bringing her home. It was also because of her owner that the rescue experienced the ocean for the first time, and it doesn’t get more moving than that. “I love my new family, thanks for teaching me how to love again,” read the text in the pooch’s POV.
