In a heartbreaking dog video on Instagram, a shelter dog cuddles with her toy for comfort after her family surrenders her. The clip begins with the pooch lying in her kennel, her plushies made up into a nest. On the screen, a line displays, “Her whole world changed overnight.” Then, a volunteer enters the kennel as Princess “doesn’t want to be alone.”

It seems she is waiting for her family, but she is also becoming aware of her new environment. The video further shows the caretaker rubbing her back and ears to provide comfort. Moreover, the caption reveals that the fur baby “curls up” to her plush toys to “ease her stress.” “Underneath that uncertain exterior is a very sweet and affectionate girl who loves attention and cuddling,” it also reads.

Meanwhile, Princess’ family told the shelter that she is a friendly dog who is “vocal and expressive.” She is energetic and gets along with kids, adults, and other dogs. “She has a fun, playful side and enjoys toys, especially ones that make noise like balls. She is very food motivated and has a special love for treats, with bacon being a favorite,” the caption states.

Furthermore, the post urges online users to help Princess find a safe home. She also deserves a happy ending.
