Upon volunteering as a dog walker at an animal shelter in Philadelphia, 20-year-old student Kayla Filoon found a loving home for Russ the Pitbull. During her work at ACCT Philly, Filoon brought Russ along and they quickly formed a deep bond.
From the moment Kayla Filoon laid eyes on Russ at ACCT Philly, where she volunteered as a dog walker, she knew there was a connection between them. Russ apparently felt the same way, as evidenced by his affectionate behavior in a photo that was posted on Facebook by one of Filoon's friends.
After noticing that Russ was losing fur and had become very skinny, Kayla knew that the shelter would have to put him down soon. This is why she decided to take him home and adopt him. As a result, Russ became very affectionate and thankful.
Filon described him as the "perfect dog" who loved to snuggle.
As Kayla was doing her homework one night, Russ was determined to find a way to snuggle with her. Their adorable interaction was captured in a photo by Kayla's friend and quickly went viral on Facebook.
Russ, the pitbull, has received an outpouring of love from animal enthusiasts worldwide. According to Filoon, he is a complete "love bug." Additionally, Russ has become the favorite of Filoon's six housemates.
Although it took Russ some time to adjust to his new surroundings, with constant care, love, and rest, he quickly regained his strength and vitality.
