Emotional Joy Unleashed: Rescued Dog Leaps with Happiness Upon Discovering Its Adoption into a Loving and Caring Home
A dog’s sweet, emotional response to being saved from a high-kill animal shelter has gained him thousands of fans online.
Benny, an eight-month-old pit bull, had been abandoned last month and sent to Carson Animal Care Center, in Gardena, California – a high-kill shelter.
For weeks it looked like the poor dog’s fate was sealed until one day a family came in and fell in love with him.

Hiding away: The shy pooch can be seen cowering away from the camera before being convinced to come out of his cage
‘This special little guy captured the hearts of everyone who stopped by his kennel,’ the staff at the shelter wrote on Facebook. ‘He hit the jackpot when this beautiful family chose to take him home.’
The pooch was finally adopted on December 10, just in time for Christmas, and when it came time to take him out of his cage at the shelter for the last time, his reaction was all caught on tape.
The filming begins as a shelter worker approaches Benny’s cage with a key. Confused and nervous, the black and white dog backs up through an opening at the back of his cage.

I’m free! As soon as he is taken out into the carpark, Benny begins running around, eager to take advantage of all the space
First Benny fidgets for a moment, then does his best to sit still, looking concerned about why he might be being removed from his cage.
Other dogs in the shelter start barking excitedly as Benny sits quietly, trying to contain himself.
When the worker finally enters the cage, the dog looks nervous and bows his head towards the ground, his tail wagging apprehensively.
But then, as the worker reveals a leash, puts it around his neck and leads him out of the cage, Benny seems to realize just what is happening.
