Marisa walked into a shelter with the intention of fostering a puppy. Little did she know that she would walk out with her best friend and “soul dog,” Lillybug, also known as Bug. This adorable Pit Bull has captured hearts with her incredibly affectionate nature, particularly her love for hugs.

Marisa didn’t officially adopt Bug until a month after their first meeting, but she knew right away that she would bring her home. What stands out the most about Bug is her undeniable love for hugs. This sweet dog’s reaction to being told that she and Marisa would have to be apart for a short time is truly heartwarming. When Marisa tells Bug that she has to go away for a few days, Bug’s response is to hug her and beg her not to go.

But Bug’s hugs aren’t just reserved for Marisa. This affectionate dog is more than happy to share her love with others, making it nearly impossible for anyone to resist her charm. Bug’s loving nature has made her a favorite among those who meet her, and her affection captures hearts everywhere she goes.

Bug’s story is a testament to the incredible bond that can form between humans and animals, particularly when it comes to rescue dogs. Many people may be hesitant to adopt a dog from the shelter, fearing that they may have behavioral issues or be difficult to train. However, Bug’s story shows that rescue dogs– even Pit Bulls who are so often misjudged– can be just as loving and loyal as any other pet.

In fact, adopting a dog from a shelter can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only are you giving a deserving animal a second chance at a happy life, but you may also find your own “soul dog” in the process. Bug is a beautiful reminder of the incredible impact that adopting a rescue dog can have on both the animal and their new family.

So, if you’re considering adding a furry friend to your family, why not visit your local shelter and see if your own “soul dog” is waiting for you? You never know – you might just find a dog as affectionate and loving as this Hug-Bug.
