He is the SWEETEST boy — and he needs a home ❤️️

Cupid watched as his family packed, loaded boxes into their car and drove away. He wasn’t sure what was happening or why he wasn’t invited to join them.
All he knew was that this place was his home. And he hoped that if he waited long enough, his family would return.
Neighbors called Janine Guido, founder of Speranza Animal Rescue, to report a dog sleeping on the porch of a house in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “All I was told was that his owners moved out and left him behind,” Guido told The Dodo. “I asked multiple other people if they knew anything about the dog and they just said, ‘They moved out.’”
Guido spotted Cupid eating out of the dumpster, but when she tried to approach him, he ran back to his safe place. He frantically jumped up and scratched at his door — begging to be let in.
That small act broke Guido’s heart.
Guido tried to convince Cupid to take some food, but the nervous dog bolted.
After 30 minutes of chasing the dog through alleyways, Guido finally figured out how to win his trust. All she had to do was to tell him that things were going to be OK: “It sounds dumb but I swear he knew what I was saying to him,” Guido said. “He literally came over and sat down and allowed me to leash him.”
She continued to explain what was happening to Cupid the whole ride home.
Since arriving at the rescue, Cupid is slowly getting used to his new surroundings.
“He has been nothing but the sweetest gentleman since coming to the rescue,” Guido said. “You can tell he’s still really confused. But he is happy to meet everyone with a wagging tail.”
Once Cupid’s finished all his vet checkups, he will be ready to start the search for his forever home. And Guido is feeling optimistic that Cupid’s luck is about to change.
“I don’t think that will be hard to find because he truly is the sweetest guy,” Guido said.
As he’s already shown, the loyal dog’s willing to wait as long as it takes for the perfect family to show up.

His Mom Can’t Walk To The Store, So He Goes For Her
The grocery list goes in his backpack 🥹
By Ashley Ortiz
It’s Sunday morning in Antioquia, Colombia, and Doña Graciela is writing her weekly grocery list. She needs just a few things from her local market, but she’s unable to walk there herself. Luckily, she has a loyal pup eager to run her errands.
She secures a saddle bag harness around her pup, a black pit bull mix, then opens the pocket where her list usually goes.
“I wrote down what he should bring me, and I put the money in here,” Doña Graciela told Instagram user @cejasriveraa in a video. “Now, he heads off to the store, and he’ll bring back what I need.”
With the coveted grocery list and money in his backpack, Doña Graciela’s dog marches out the front door and trots down their village street, propelled by his wagging tail. He knows what market to go to, but even if he has doubts, the shopkeepers are always there to wave him in with open arms.
When he arrives, the sweet pup sits in front of the counter and allows the workers to retrieve the list from his backpack.
“There, he’s arrived at the store,” Cejasriveraa said. “Now, they’re attending to him. How beautiful.”
After grabbing the list, the shopkeepers leave the pup momentarily to retrieve the items from the back. Despite being left seemingly alone, the well-behaved dog doesn’t budge from his spot.
“Look how he patiently waits for them to attend to him,” Cejasriveraa said.
Moments later, the shopkeepers return with a small bag of items, which they tie to his backpack. They take the money from his pocket before sending him back to his home.
Again, the sweet pup happily trots down the street back to his house, excited to show his mom what he picked up for her.
“There goes the dog with his items,” Cejasriveraa said.
You can watch the pup complete his errand here:

Seconds later, the pup pops back into Doña Graciela’s living room, sporting a huge smile. He sits patiently while his mom unties the bag from his backpack, then enjoys a delicious treat for his hard work.
Life as a senior citizen has ups and downs, but luckily, Doña Graciela never has to worry about completing her tasks. As long as her sweet pup is around, she’ll always have someone loving and trustworthy to help her.
“He even brought back the change!” Doña Graciela said.
