A photo of university student Kayla Filoon and her lately adopted dog is rapidly making its method via the internet and grabbing audience’s hearts. Filoon is a student at Temple University that was offering at a local animal sanctuary when she first satisfied Russ.

The young dog was sick with kennel cough and struggling with other conditions like eye infection and scratchy skin, and bleeding tail; he was also considered to be underweight. Despite all of that, Filoon notes his calm demeanor when he caught her eye like “he knew I [sic] was going to be his mother one day.”

The following day she visited Russ again, and the two took a drive, and she instantly knew it was meant to be. Ever since, the two have actually been practically inseparable.

The now-viral photo was taken by a close friend while Filoon was studying, and showcases a heartwarming moment in between a pet and its owner. The animal shelter was also excited by its power.

” We enjoy seeing animals in their permanently homes, knowing we helped create this perfect match.”

In some cases life brings two beings together in a way that can’t be predicted. The two seem to be a real match-made-in-heaven and we can’t wait to see even more pictures of both of them in the future!
