A Homeless Dog Cries Tears of Joy When She Feels Kindness for the First Time – And Finds a Forever Home

This is the heartwarming story of a stray dog who couldn’t hold back her tears when she realized that kindness still exists. The dog, who was heavily pregnant, had been wandering the streets, searching for food. One day, she noticed a couple eating lunch by the roadside. She hoped for some scraps, but instead, she got something much better – a loving home. The moment was so overwhelming for her that she cried tears of joy.


Jacks Anderson and his wife first saw the black pit bull mix when they stopped to buy food from a street vendor. The dog watched them closely but didn’t come too close or beg for food. The vendor shooed her away, and she disappeared, looking scared.


Later, as the couple was driving home, they saw the dog again and noticed she was pregnant. They pulled over and offered her some food. Anderson’s wife felt so sorry for the helpless dog that she tried to pet her and feed her by hand, hoping to earn her trust. They quickly realized they couldn’t leave her on the streets, so they decided to take her with them.


When the dog understood she was safe and being cared for by kind strangers, she became so emotional that she cried. Anderson said, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog cry like that. It really touched us.”


The couple took the dog to the vet, where they found out she had some fleas but was otherwise healthy. They decided to foster her for a few days while looking for someone to adopt her. But those few days were enough for them to fall completely in love with her. They named her Poppy and decided to keep her forever.


Anderson shared, “Poppy loves to be loved. She’s staying with us. We’re learning more about her every day and building trust. We might have failed at fostering, but there are worse things in life!”
