America's saddest pit bull finally has a reason to smile
A tear-jerking video of the 'saddest' pit bull in the shelter finding his forever home has gone viral on social media.
TikTok user Katie Kramer (@therealslimkatieeeee), a nurse and influencer, and her husband, Cole, drove to a shelter in Phoenix, Arizona, with the intent of giving a dog a new and loving home.
The TikTok video showed a dog behind bars in a shelter, pouting and staring off into into the distance.
But as the pup started to realize what was happening, he lit up immediately, his tail wagging and eyes wide with hope.
'POV you go find the saddest dog at the shelter and take him home to the life he deserves,' Kramer wrote in the video caption.

The video then cuts to the the pit bull in the car, alert and sitting upright on a cozy blanket.
Finally, the last footage we see is of the pittie chewing on a toy, animated and full of life.
We do not yet know the name of the good boy, his backstory, or how old he is.
To celebrate his adoption, the pit bull's new owners gave him a treat on the way to his new home.
'He did indeed get a freedom cheeseburger on the way home,' Katie wrote in the caption of the video.
In a highly requested follow up video, Katie showed the new addition of her family receiving plenty of belly rubs, tongue out and smiling.
'Safe to say he has adjusted well,' the caption of the video read.
Katie also owns Chiweenie dog, which is often featured in her content carried in a papoose or sling.
Pit bulls are a misunderstood breed, viewed as inherently aggressive dogs that are hard to train, per the Humane Society. Therefore, they are often the breeds left behind in shelters.
In a 2023 survey by Animals 24-7, they found that pit bulls occupied more than half of all available shelter and rescue kennel space.
'ANIMALS 24-7 has for 14 years in a row conducted an annual electronic survey of online advertisements offering dogs for sale or adoption, estimating breed populations from the breeds stated by the advertisers, whether breeders, shelters, or rescues.
'Of the total advertised pit bull inventory, 36% were offered by shelters or rescues: six times as many as the norm for all other breeds combined.
'Of the 752,000 total shelter and rescue dogs offered for adoption during the 2023 ANIMALS 24-7 survey, only 234,996 dogs were identified by breed: 31%.

'More than two-thirds of the shelter and rescue dogs available, 69% to be precise, were not identified by breed.
'If even half of these unidentified dogs were pit bulls, pit bulls occupied more than 70% of all available shelter and rescue kennel space; if all of them are pit bulls, a breed representing only 5.5% of the total U.S. dog population occupied 80% of all shelter and rescue kennel space.'
But this family led by example, giving this sweet boy another chance at life.
