An unforgettable moment took place at an animal shelter while a journalist was simply visiting to do a story.
A dog suddenly approached the man and held onto him tightly!

The man couldn’t hide his surprise. He did not understand what was happening — he didn’t have any treats with him at all, and it was the first time they saw each other.
But the dog continued to hold on tight.
So the man decided to pet the dog and give it the love it was clearly yearning for.

But the man’s loving pats only encouraged the dog to continue holding on tightly.
As onlookers observed the situation, some pointed out the dog’s facial expression.

The man soon realized that the dog didn’t have any plans of letting go!
The dog looked like it had already made a decision to choose the reporter as his “forever human.”

Everyone could see that the two simply had a connection.
Eventually, the reporter decided to do what he deemed appropriate given the situation: he adopted the sweet dog.
The entire moment was captured on video and shared online for everyone to witness:

Wonderful and congratulations, to the journalist. It takes a while for an animal to warm up to an adult.
He is going to give that journalist alot of love and caring.
