Two dogs scheduled to be euthanized caught a break this week – thanks to a photo of them hugging that was posted on Facebook.
Approximately two hours after Atlanta-based Angels Among Us Pet Rescue posted a photo on its Facebook page of Kala and Keira hugging each other, they were both adopted and in a car on their way to a new life, according to the Facebook post.
The post, written from the point of view of Kala, included an emotional plea for somebody to adopt the pair.
"I'm Kala. This is Keira. We're so scared in here. The people working in the shelters see how scared we are but just told each other that today is our deadline. We have to have someone rescue us or we'll be 'next,'" the Facebook post reads.
The shelter later posted another photo of the pair happily jumping on and licking a person.
