There&#8217;s nothing quite as frightening as watching a very happy dog barrel towards you at full speed. Typically, dogs have no concept of boundaries or their own weight, which means they can often turn into a turbocharged tornado heading your way. This isn&#8217;t even to add the ability they have to leap all the way up toward your face with zero caution, which usually leads to a gnarly headbutt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Well, the same concept applies to shelter dogs, who aren&#8217;t exempt from getting excited from time to time, even if it comes at your peril. At least that&#8217;s what one shelter guest experienced with one overly happy doggy who couldn&#8217;t help but get excited, and let&#8217;s just say she should wear a helmet next time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/dog-face\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc36;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;\ud83d\udc36&quot;}\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc36<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/newsletters\/parade-pets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SIGN UP to get &quot;pawsitivity&quot; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;SIGN UP to get \\&quot;pawsitivity\\&quot; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp;amp&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><strong>SIGN UP to get &#8220;pawsitivity&#8221; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/paw-prints\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e&quot;}\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Cupcake&#8217;s Excited Wiggles Deserve a Warning Label<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Still love her\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/okwVKX-XTIE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While on a mission to record a cute video for shelter dog Cupcake, animal shelter volunteer Julie Saraceno got a little bit more than she bargained for when Cupcake just couldn&#8217;t hold in her excitement any longer. Sitting on the floor of Cupcake&#8217;s kennel, Julie was recording clips of the adorable puppy, hoping they would help her get adopted a little more quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Related: Watch This Senior Shelter Dog Go From Terrified to Happy With One Field Trip<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Although she had good intentions, Julie joked that it was at that moment that Cupcake decided &#8220;it was her time.&#8221; This is because Cupcake couldn&#8217;t help but feel joy at seeing her friend and decided to climb onto her face and give her a few &#8220;pets&#8221; of her own. While it was all in good fun, and it was clear that Cupcake is a sweetheart who wasn&#8217;t intentionally hurting her, nothing gets you quite like a few nails to the face.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Julie admits she still loves Cupcake, but we can&#8217;t help but think it probably left a mark or two. In the comments, some defended Cupcake&#8217;s excited little jumps, while others hoped she would get adopted soon. One potential adopter even commented their intention to give Cupcake a proper home with &#8220;Thank you for sharing my hubby and I looking at adopting her. We are in Washington as well.&#8221; Another commenter added, &#8220;My dog this to me all the time!
