Not everyone gets the second chance they deserve. Especially, when it comes to a shelter dog with medical issues and a bite history, you rarely see them live out their senior days outside of a cage. However, one 15-year-old chihuahua defied the odds and got a second chance at being a good boy. This is his heartwarming story…

The dog-loving woman, Harley, gave a sweet senior boy a chance at redemption. After following the urge of a wild hair, she dashed to the shelter and asked them to point out the dog that had been there the longest. To her surprise, they said they had an old chihuahua on board who had been in and out of the shelter over the last 2 years, returned by 6 prospective families with an aggressive bite history and medical issues. What did Harley say to that? Let's bring him home.

Tug on your heartstrings with this entirely wholesome story of how one woman saved this dog's life and gave him a second chance at being a good boy. If you can come out of this without a little mist in your eyes, it's time to rewarm your heart with some more dog moments–perhaps some dog memes to emotionally support you?
