There’s something deeply meaningful about celebrating milestones like birthdays and anniversaries with our loved ones. In one such occasion, a mom celebrated their family’s foster Pitbull’s adoption anniversary in a video after their story went viral on TikTok. A year after she found Nala and brought her home, the post recapped the wholesome and life-changing moments of the pup and what the adoption meant for her kids.
Mom shows her kids’ bond with Pitbull while celebrating dog’s ‘Gotcha Day’
Adopting a dog and giving them a second chance at life as well as a forever home doesn’t just change their world — it transforms your life, too. This mom, Nicole, shared the story of their foster Pitbull, Nala, in a touching video to celebrate her adoption anniversary, a year after their life-changing move went viral on social media.
The TikTok post from a year ago showed the children’s reaction after learning they saved the sweet girl’s life, as they instantly bonded with the pup. And the latest video showed Nicole’s kids’ extraordinary bond with the Pittie now as they celebrated the dog’s “gotcha day.”
The initial clip showed one of her sons cuddling Nala, who hid her face from the camera, and celebrating the special milestone with her. Meanwhile, the remainder of the post recapped the little one’s story from the moment the foster mom found her on the side of the road and decided to bring her home because the “shelters were full.”
As the Pitbull’s adoption anniversary video progressed, it shared updates and all the developments they made throughout the year. These included vet visits and their attempts to find her a good home. However, Nicole explained that her kids fell in love with Nala as more clips looked back at their journey together. It further showed how she made new friends along the way, found comfort as part of the family, and flawlessly blended in.
Going to the beach, celebrating Christmas, playing in the snow, exploring the wild, swimming in the pool, and endless cuddle sessions pretty much summed up the Pittie’s story with her new family. The video concluded by noting how “one man’s ‘trash'” turned into “another man’s treasure.”
