Hugging Dogs On Death Row Saved Thanks To A Photo Gone Viral
Kala and Keira only had each other in this world.
And they found themselves in a hopeless situation, their futures hanging by a thread, about to be euthanized at the end of the day...
That’s when dog lovers all around united through the internet to do the impossible!
The Call for Help
In a shelter nestled in the heart of Georgia, two dogs, Kala and Keira, clung to each other in a moment of pure desperation.
Kala, a spirited brown hound mix, wrapped her legs around Keira, a kind-hearted boxer mix, seeking comfort in the face of fear.
Their eyes spoke volumes, a silent plea for help that would soon resonate across the globe.
Malena Evans, a kind soul from the Etowah County Humane Center, captured this heart-wrenching moment.

The image was then shared by Angels Among Us Pet Rescue with a note on their Facebook page.
“I’m Kala. This is Keira. We’re so scared in here. The people working in the shelters see how scared we are but just told each other that today is our deadline. We have to have someone rescue us or we’ll be ‘next.'”
The post continued to paint the dark picture: “If no one saves us, someone will take her away from me [...] They’ll come for me next and I won’t be as brave. We’ve comforted each other while we were here. She gave me hope when I had none. Now it’s over. Unless...”
A Wave of Compassion
The digital world, often criticized for its coldness, lit up with warmth and urgency.
The post spread like wildfire, a rallying cry that echoed in the hearts of thousands.
The clock was ticking, the specter of loss looming over Kala and Keira, but the community, bound by a collective love for animals, sprung into action.
In just two hours and six minutes, a miracle unfolded. The power of a single hug, a moment captured in time, had done the impossible.
