Shelter Pit Bull Refuses To Get Adopted Unless Her Dog Best Friend Comes With Her

When people tried to separate them, Merrill and Taco cried and whined so loudly the shelter staff had to keep them together in the same enclosure.

He thought he was bringing home his next best friend, but Merrill had other ideas.
