At first glance, a puppy in a Christmas sweater seems irresistibly sweet and endearing. However, the poignant story behind this image has touched hearts around the world.

As the new year dawns, many reflect on cherished memories with loved ones. Yet, this wasn’t the case for a heartbroken puppy, who, despite months passing, clings to hope in his vibrant green Christmas sweater. Even three months later, he remains in the same festive outfit, waiting for a loving home that has yet to come.

The face of the desolate puppy speaks for itself

His name is Bobby , a poor sad-looking little dog who one fateful day was abandoned by the family he trusted so much.

His owners abandoned him at a shelter, taking his collar and leash with them, leaving him in terrible misery and confusion.

Knowing Bobby’s tragic history, volunteers at the Miami-Dade Animal Services Shelter believed the magic of Christmas would bring him good fortune.

So they put him in a fluffy green sweater and shared a photo of him on social media, trying to find him a home.

He always stays sad in his usual corner

The days passed, Christmas passed, and despite the fact that Bobby’s photo went viral and many people fell in love with his narrative, no family provided him with a loving home.

The furry’s reality was too dismal, and his circumstance prompted a red code in the shelter, putting him at the head of a list that only comprises pups who will be sacrificed.

Bobby is a pretty bright small dog, and the scenario destroyed him rather than saddening him.

He realized he was on the point of death due to the stupid selfishness of humans who couldn’t see how unique he is.

It only took a family that decided to bet on him

“Very sad. I hope you find a home soon, Bobby. You deserve all the love in the world,” one netizen said.

Bobby was thin and miserable, unable to lift his small head; his eyes were practically closed from so much pain, and the only color in him was still that hopeful green sweater.

But sometimes the Christmas magic moves too slowly, as was the case with this unfortunate little dog.

Fortunately, a woman arrived to the shelter interested in adopting Bobby, causing ecstasy throughout the facility: Bobby had finally found his long-awaited home!

“I’m very glad for Bobby; it’s amazing that such a beautiful woman came to rescue him; it’s a miracle from heaven, he’s found his home for life; perhaps his old owners are not permitted to have any more pets,” wrote another netizen.

Bobby is overjoyed right now.

His new human reciprocated all of the puppy’s excitement, providing him with kisses and caresses that restored his trust in mankind.

He has offered his heart once more, and we hope that this time his love will be gratefully received.

Bobby has a lot of love to offer and receive, and we hope that he can put his past behind him and have the love life that he has always deserved.

Congratulations, sweet little one!

Remember that a poor dog with a shattered heart is waiting for you to give him a chance to love and be loved, and that hopefully many more doggies will experience the late Christmas joy that may yet come into their life.
