Death Row dog ‘panic’ when he realizes he has been adopted into a new loving family
Days in a shelter are often overlooked, with a puppy’s long and sad days. These responsibilities are fundamental, and they cannot be compared with love or care. Not to mention the terrible fate that can befall them if they are not adopted into a family. This is a problem that happens all too often at high murder facilities. So, what happens when an unwanted shelter dog is adopted into a family and learns that its existence will soon get worse?

Many have been discussed the impact of adoption, but seeing it for themselves is inexplicable. Such was the case for Benny, a sweet and shy shelter dog who was adopted from the High Killing Carson Animal Care Center in Gardena, California. Basically, Benny was put to death when he was finally adopted. So how did he react?
At first, you can see Benny busy at the seams with anticipation. He’s trying to hold it together as he looks around, sitting as still as he can, while he waits to see if this is his family. But you can totally tell he’s being freaky on the inside. I can imagine a dialogue like, “Are they mine, am I theirs?”
