Shelter dog's enchanting reaction to Christmas lights brings viewers to tears
Texas - This shelter dog's eyes light up with wonder as he looks out of the car window at the beautiful Christmas decorations. Check out the enchanting viral video below!
4-year-old dog Fabio was completely overwhelmed when he finally got a change of scenery from the dreary animal shelter.
It was a special moment for the four-legged friend, who had previously seen little of the world outside his kennel walls.
A volunteer from the shelter took Fabio on a short drive to show him the festive Christmas decorations in Peppermint Parkway.
With wide eyes and a curious expression, the pooch gazed at the twinkling lights and glowing Christmas trees along the road.
The driver, who was fascinated by Fabio's astonished look, captured the special experience with his camera and promptly posted it on Instagram.
The touching clip spread like wildfire and triggered a wave of enthusiasm that touched many hearts.
Users in the comments section said that the video inspired them to help out at their local animal shelter and support animals in need.
Fabio is still looking for a forever home, however, with the post's caption asking, "Can you make Fabio's wish of a home reality?"
