The student took the pit bull from the shelter, and he can't stop hugging her

Kayla Filoon is a student who volunteers at an animal shelter in Philadelphia. When she first saw Pit bull Russ, she immediately felt that he was not just another dog for her to walk. Kayla realized that there was a special connection between them immediately. "He came to us from the street, all beaten up. There was no fur on his tail and ears, he was terribly thin. And here he is sitting and calmly looking at me… I realized that I wanted to take him home right now."

Kayla had to act as quickly as possible, since before that the shelter had to euthanize 15 dogs. "Unfortunately, any dog could be put down, especially if it was sick and weak. And Russ just fell into that category."

The very next day, Kayla went to the shelter, sorted out all the necessary paperwork and took Russ home.

Two weeks later, the girl was sitting at her homework, and the pit bull was always trying to snuggle up to his savior and hug her. Kayla's friend filmed this incredibly cute scene and posted it on Facebook. The photo has already been shared by 55 thousand people.

Kayla hopes that this photo of her with Russ will inspire other people to take animals from shelters.
