Shelter Dog Can't Stop Hugging Her New Dad After Meeting Him For The First Time
Maggie did not waste any time showing her new family how much she cared. The shelter dog, who had already been through neglect and breeding abuse, wrapped herself around her new dad the moment they met.
After losing their rescue dog, Mischka, to cancer a few months earlier, Mary McCraw and her husband, Mark, were not sure they were ready for another dog. But a meet and greet through Halfway There Rescue changed that fast, and Maggie made an unforgettable first impression.
Now, the pit bull who once needed healing is finally safe, loved, and impossible to ignore. Read on.
“She melted my heart,” McCraw told The Dodo.
“We had lost our other dog a few months prior to meeting Maggie, and this was just a meet and greet in my mind. I didn’t think I was ready for a new dog at the time.”
“I bent down so she would not be intimidated, and within seconds she was in my lap and in my life,” McCraw said.
“Her story broke our hearts. Meeting her was love at first sight; it was an instant connection. We feel like she was meant to be with us.”
This is similar to the man whose eyes glistened when he reunited with his beloved dog.
Here's Maggie's first meeting with her new family:
“She became one of the sweetest dogs we have ever fostered,” Andra Mack told The Dodo.
“The moment that Maggie met her new dad, my husband and I just looked at each other — because we knew. It was like a movie.”
“They were meant to be together,” Mack said.
“The beam of sunshine that is clear in the video makes me believe that their former dog, Mischka, was looking down on that meeting and smiling.”
“Maggie brings joy to everyone she meets and continually makes our life better,” McCraw said.
“Looking into those eyes just makes the world a better place.”
Maggie finally got her happy ending after enduring a lot of suffering and neglect. The second she met her new parents, she instantly felt a connection with them and could not hold herself back.
Watching that video, it felt as if Maggie and her new dad had known each other for years, but it was surprisingly their very first time meeting. Maggie used to be a neglected dog, but she is now part of a loving, caring family that would do anything in their power to keep her safe.
