Every once and a while a particular pooch stands out to Sarah for one reason another, typically something in the dog’s disposition melts her heart on sight. One of those dogs was a Pitbull mix named Cinnamon that she fell in love with at first sight. Cinnamon’s darling face and sad story shook Sarah to the core.

“Every time I stopped to talk to her and say I was sorry her eyes would fill with tears," she wrote in the caption of her facebook video.

Before being rescued by the shelter, Cinnamon was likely used for breeding. Cinnamon was 7 years old and she was abandoned at the shelter after clearly giving birth to many litters of pups. However, none of her puppies were dropped off with her. Sarah knew right away that she had to do everything in her power to make sure that this special dog found its forever home.

Sarah noticed that not only did Cinnamon’s eyes show her longing to be part of a human family, but the dog actually seemed to tear up when Sarah would stop and talk to her. Sarah used the power of social media to capture a video of Cinnamon to post on Facebook.

The video spread quickly. One of Sarah’s friends decided to adopt the dog a few days later, Sarah shared an adorable video of the day Cinnamon met her new family. The sweet dog acted as if she had known her new human family her entire life. Cinnamon went from a sad dog to a happy member of her new family, always smiling and wagging her tail.
