Kayla Filoon was used to spending time with homeless dogs. For the past year, the 20-year-old student volunteered as a dog walker at ACCT Philly, an animal shelter in Philadelphia. But when Filoon met Russ, a quiet, 4-year-old pit bull with patchy fur, she knew there was something special about him.

“He came in as a stray, and he was really beat up,” Filoon told The Dodo. “He was missing fur on his tail and ears. He was also terribly skinny. They told me he was about 40 pounds when he came into the shelter.”

Filoon soon recognized what a delightful dog he was. “He was just sitting there calmly, staring at me,” Filoon said. “And I thought, he is adorable! I need to take him now.”

She walked Russ for about 45 minutes, but it only took about five minutes for her to fall in love with him.

Russ quickly fell in love with his new life, especially with his new mom, Filoon. “He always has to be close to me,” she said.

“One night I'm sitting there on the chair, doing my homework, and he's trying to find ways to cuddle with me,” Filoon said. “There was a whole other sofa open, and we had his bed on the floor, but he didn't want to lie anywhere else. So he ends up positioning himself, and I look down, and I think, “Oh my gosh, look at him.'”

Filoon's friend snapped a photo and put it on social media. The image quickly went viral.

Wow! This adoption story and Russ are so incredible. He is just so sweet, it isn't hard to see why he has captured everyone's heart. This special pit bull that has so much love to give. If you can't wait to see more of this precious dog, we don't blame you. He definitely seems to love the camera, maybe as much as he clearly loves his mom.
