Little Boy Shares Sweet Words with Previously Abused Rescue Dog

It's truly heartbreaking to think about the many animals that have been in neglectful and abusive homes. Luckily, there are organizations across the country working every day to remove animals from situations like this, and there are good families and sanctuaries looking to adopt these rescues. One family did just that, and this moment between two new siblings is too pure to miss.

TikTok user @the_crazyzoo recently shared a video of her son sharing a special moment with their new rescue dog, a Pit Bull named Neil, who had been abused by his previous owners. In the clip, this woman's son whispered some sweet words to Neil before going to bed, and our hearts are melting. Just wait until you hear what the little boy said!

@the_crazyzoo My son wanted a dog of his own and the shelter was having $15 adoptions. So off to the animal shelter we went! This sweet boy was seized from his owners because of abuse. He had cigarette burn scars on him and was afraid of loud noises. He was also the only dog in the shelter not barking. We took him out in the dog park area to get acquainted. I wanted to make sure he didn't have any aggression because of the abuse. He was so well behaved! My son fell in love and we brought him home! Pits get such a bad response and he's by far the sweetest and most cuddly one of them all! My son wanted to reassure him that he would be loved and kept safe and it melts my heart ❤️ #dogsoftiktok #dogsoftiktokviral #dogstory #pitbull #pitbullsoftiktok #pitbulllove #pitbullterrier #animalsoftiktok #petsoftiktok #petstory #rescuedog #adoptdontshop ♬ original sound

This is just too sweet. The little boy told Neil that they love him and he is safe now. According to the caption, Neil had been found with cigarette burn scars on his body and was afraid of loud noises. Now that he is with his new family, he can use their love to heal from his past!

People in the comments were emotional over this touching video. One viewer, @nurseratchet719, said, "I could cry. He just found a lifelong best friend, and that dog will trust agin because of your sweet boy!" Another person, @dublin1885, commented, "OMG, I love this kid, I’m literally in tears! What a lucky dog." We're so glad Neil is with a loving and caring family now.

Others praised this family for rescuing a dog with a tumultuous past. TikTok user @teachmk17 noted, "Thank you for adopting! All of the shelters are so full and struggling to keep up." Another user, @lvstbrnrd, said, "Look at that tail. Thank you for bringing him home!" All dogs deserve a chance at happiness with caring families.

We loved seeing how gentle and sweet this little boy is being with their new dog. It's already clear that Neil trusts his brother, and the two will be inseparable for a long time
