Heartwarming Moment Boy Reassures Abused Rescue Dog That He's Now Loved

Amom recorded the heart warming moment her son reassures their new rescue dog that he's safe now in his forever home.

The family, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, saw that their local rescue center was allowing people to adopt dogs for just $15, as they tried to encourage more families to adopt shelter dogs.

After sharing a video on TikTok on March 9, the_crazyzoo showed her son gently reassuring their rescue pit bull, Neil, how much he is loved and that he's safe now.

The mom, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that her 7-year-old son was desperate for a dog and he even saved up the $15 out of his own pocket money.

The viral video on TikTok explained that Neil was "seized from his owners because of abuse," and he was covered in cigarette burns. Once Neil met his new family, they said he was "so well behaved" and they instantly "fell in love" with him, so they brought him home.
