One little lean backward says more than Luna ever could. Somehow, she decides this volunteer is the right person to fall into. Shared by @jsaraceno, the video catches the six-year-old shelter dog winding down after a fun day out, staying tucked right against the human who came to spend time with her. Luna has now spent 100 days at the shelter, but she still greets new people with kisses almost the moment they sit down beside her. Watching her this relaxed tells us that some dogs never stop believing kindness will find them again.
Shelter dog trusts human in kennel despite enduring a stressful life
The video opens with volunteer Julie sitting beside Luna on the elevated bed inside her kennel. While Julie reads a book, Luna leans against her leg for a moment before slowly letting herself fall backward into her lap. It looks just like a trust fall, and Julie barely reacts beyond keeping her hand moving across Luna’s back.
A few moments earlier, Julie had unpacked her backpack, settled in with her book, and offered Luna a few treats. The shelter pup happily accepted the treats, then inched back toward Julie instead of settling anywhere else.
On-screen text explains that Luna has now spent 100 days waiting for a home. And yet, she’s the kind of dog who hands out kisses within seconds of meeting someone. The caption points out that Luna is going through one of the most stressful times of her life, which makes those little kisses even harder to forget.
As the afternoon continues, Luna stays close. She nudges Julie for more cuddles, plants a few happy kisses on her face, and eventually stretches herself across the volunteer’s lap. She settles into the quiet, keeping one part of herself touching Julie almost the entire time.
Eventually it’s time for Julie to leave. Before opening the kennel door, she gives Luna one last round of scritches and waves her goodbye. The shelter dog’s video with her favorite human has already earned nearly 3,000 likes. And viewers are falling for Luna’s sweet, wrinkled face and hoping someone sees exactly what Julie sees every time she visits.
