Adorable Beagle Hugs His Rescuer After Being Saved From Being Euthanized In A Shelter

Many dogs end up in rescue shelters while some are euthanized if they have severe medical problems that are too costly to treat. Nevertheless, man’s best friends do not warrant such a horrible fate. Every doggo deserves to be cured, to have a forever home, and a kind, caring owner to look after them. Gregory the Beagle was nearly put down at an animal shelter, but his story had a happy ending.

The cavalry — Joe Kirk — arrived just in the nick of time to save the dog. A thankful Gregory had an extraordinary gift for his hero — the cutest hug you have probably seen all week. Photos of the dog snuggling up to Joe quickly went viral online.

Joe saved the Beagle two days before it was scheduled to be put to sleep. Joe and his wife Schenley Hutson-Kirk are co-founders of Hound Rescue and Sanctuary, a non-profit organization based near Findlay, Ohio. It helps neglected dogs find new homes, provides lifelong sanctuary to “unadoptable and senior” canines and helps strays. Its primary mission is to save dogs from euthanasia by taking them in from “high risk and kill shelters”. Hats off to these wonderful people.
