More than 25 million people expressed their love for the dog’s reaction. Indeed, even the other shelter dogs rooted for her! For the first time in her life, a golden retriever named Starlight will realize that she’s about to get a permanent home.

Her response when she hears the news is so endearing. After an exceptionally tough life on the street, the lovable dog is finally getting the opportunity to live a normal life, have a caring human, and have her very own home.

The heartwarming video starts with Joe Kay, the owner of the Wayne County Humane Society in Wooster, Ohio, holding an adoption card and making his way to Starlight’s kennel. He then announces to Starlight that she now has a new home, and obviously, the reaction of the golden retriever is pure, unadulterated happiness.

Fiercely wagging her tail, she couldn't contain her excitement. According to Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist, "Dogs have an incredible ability to sense emotional changes in their environment, and they often react with joy when they realize they are going to a loving home."

After several months of being adopted, Starlight looks happier than ever. She has impeccably adjusted to her new way of life, and it couldn't have been the reverse, judging by the way she is taken care of by her mother.

The owner of the dog, Hannah Gilmore, spoke on behalf of DailyStar about how she met Starlight, now known as Moira Rose or Rosie, and how she adopted her. "I had been searching for quite a long time for a golden retriever and applied quickly when Starlight was posted," the woman said.

According to her, the shelter’s owner, Joe, said she applied within 30 seconds, and everything worked out perfectly as her mission had started to find her perfect partner. Hannah and Rosie are now inseparable, and the woman said she couldn't have expected a gentler dog.

In any case, we can say the same about Rosie, as she couldn't have found a more adoring mom. "Now, she sleeps from sundown to sunset with her head on my cushion," Hannah said.

She thought her friends were crazy when they said their dog was the perfect companion, but here they are, and she can't imagine life without her golden retriever, Rosie.

Hello, doggie!

The Golden Retriever is a medium-to-large-sized dog that was bred to recover shot waterfowl, such as ducks, during hunting and shooting parties. The name "retriever" alludes to the breed's capacity to recover shot game without damaging them, thanks to their soft mouth.
