Shelter Dog Who Watched Family Reject Her for New Dog Gets Happy Ending [Video]

When her dad passed away, Zuzu the dog went into mourning. She was depressed and escaped the backyard frequently, perhaps in a vain attempt to find him. On Thanksgiving day, she got loose, was picked up by animal control, and taken to the pound.

Fast forward a few days, and Zuzu was in the yard at the Downey Animal Care Center, doing some temperament test exercises with a volunteer, when a family walked up to the fence to watch. Zuzu lit up! The staff spoke to the group, hoping the strangers wanted to take Zuzu home, and were shocked to discover that indeed, they were Zuzu’s family. However, they weren’t there to take Zuzu back. They wanted to take a new dog home instead.
