When a shelter dog<\/strong><\/a> and a little girl come together, the world feels a little more bearable \u2014 and that is exactly the vibe in @alissacgore\u2019s adorable Instagram video. In the video, a 9-year-old toddler stands at the fence with a shelter dog, who is unsure how to react to the little girl\u2019s presence. But the second the child gets close, her face lights up, and she blurts out, \u201cOh my goodness,\u201d as she rubs him and tries to settle him down, telling him, \u201cCome here!\u201d and \u201cYou don\u2019t need to stand on the fence.\u201d<\/p>\n Within moments, the shelter dog and the little girl fall into a rhythm of pats and affectionate snuggles in the video by @alissacgore<\/a>. At one point, someone off camera tells the girl, \u201cHe feels safe with you,\u201d and the dog comes close, licking her face as if to back it up, which only prompts the girl to answer in a proud, matter-of-fact voice. She affirms, \u201cHe really does.\u201d<\/p>\n The video carries a strong message from the start. In the on-screen text, the creator writes, \u201cMy 9-year-old showing more compassion than the adults that led these dogs here,\u201d and in the caption, they add, \u201cIt\u2019s a sad reality when our kids are more emotionally grown than our adults in the community.\u201d They emphasize, \u201cI won\u2019t stop trying to save them. And I think the next generation might really fix the problem. I believe that in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n When a child approaches without tension, some dogs soften almost right away \u2014 and viewers felt it. One commented, \u201cTwo sweet babies,\u201d and another appreciated how the pup felt calmed by the girl, stating, \u201cThis is so precious.\u201d Moreover, many asked for an update, including one commenter who wrote, \u201cPlease tell me you took that dog home.\u201d<\/p>\n Whether or not this shelter dog went home that day, the video shows that for a few minutes, he was the little girl\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n The post Shelter Dog Is Comforted by a Kind Little Girl With Snuggles & Kisses<\/a> appeared first on DogTime<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nVideo shows little girl comforting shelter dog with kisses in a proud moment<\/h2>\n
