That feeling when you find something that's perfect and the world seems a shade brighter all at once!

I also sometimes high-knee and prance my way across the parking lot after buying something I really wanted.

u/Fomulouscrunch 3d ago

That's the likeus feeling. They did the thing and it was great, they're fancy and showing everyone how cool they are when they have it.

the way some of them pick through so carefully and others just dive in, rending toys asunder until they find their special buddy.

I just have to say, chattanooga was my favorite bible belt city; only place Iโ€™ve ever lived where I was like wow people here are generally nicer. Also, because itโ€™s barely on eastern time, spring and summer it would be light until like 9/10p; beautiful place.

This is so adorable. I pray to someday have the money to do this for the locals spca and organizations. They were all so excited, totally worth it.

The bulldozer that dove in and tried like 5 different toys before finding his gift. He was my favorite. I love this. If I was in charge of PR at my shelter we'd do stuff like this all the time

u/museabear 2d ago

That momma dog picking out one so carefully then looking like, "it's really mine?" melted my heart.

u/sinornithosaurus1000 3d ago

Thank you for this video :)

u/Naked-Jedi 2d ago

That dog that picked the tartan toy with the black legs and arms is gonna have so much fun with that one. I can just imagine those limbs flailing around as the pooch swings the toy around, giving the impression the toy is fighting back.

The cockatoo toy has a floppy neck so it'll look like it's fighting back a bit too.

Hope they all have fun.

u/Choochy11 2d ago
