As Mack was wandering the streets of Pasco, Washington, a well-meaning person took her to the Tri-Cities Animal Shelter, hoping she would find a loving family.
Among the many other dogs vying for attention, the sweet, upbeat Mike begins to paw through the cage’s fence, encouraging passersby to hold hands.
Soon, someone did it.
“She’s a favorite of mine and many other volunteers!” Julie Saraceno, a volunteer at the shelter, tells us. “I was hooked on her the first day she pawed me out of her kennel!”
A sweet and lovable dog, the black lab mix is
well known in shelters for his intelligence, love of people, and passion for walking.
Mike quickly learned that if she waved to people through the bar, she’d get more love and attention. It also persuaded onlookers to give her more treats.
Saraceno wanted Mac to find her forever family, so she posted a video of the lab on social media, which quickly went viral.
