Many can argue the benefits and drawbacks of social media, but the truth is this is a very powerful tool that, when used in the right way and for the right purpose, it can do great things.
Exactly two hours and six minutes was all it took for an amazing community of animal lovers to save the life of two canine friends.
But, the real stars here are Kala and Keira… two beautiful shelter dogs that clung to each other, begging for life.
Their desperate plea for help touched many hearts all over the world, and thankfully, they were given a second chance in life.
The Power Of The Hug
Kala, a brown hound mix, and Keira, a boxer mix, were scheduled for euthanasia when something remarkable happened.
Malena Evans, of the Etowah County Humane Center, took a photo of two best friends hugging. Kala had her two front legs wrapped around her best friend, with a desperate look on her face asking for help.
They still had so much life in them, but unfortunately, like many dogs in overcrowded shelters, they were set to be put down unless the shelter found someone to adopt them immediately.
A couple of hours before their euthanization, the Atlanta Georgia charity , shared a snap of them hugging on their Facebook page, asking for urgent help.
