This was filmed last week in Tampa, Florida. Phone cam footage is shaky but captures everything. The veteran is Marcus, 36, Marine Corps. Severe PTSD. His therapist suggested getting a dog. Marcus came to browse. Not sure he was ready. Walking down the kennel hallway looking at dogs. Most are barking. Jumping. Overwhelming. Then Marcus passes one kennel. A Pit Bull inside. Male. About four years old. The dog isn't barking. Just stands up. Presses his nose through the bars. Staring at Marcus. Marcus stops walking. Looks at the dog. Kneels down. The dog pushes his entire face through the gap in the bars trying to reach Marcus. Whining softly. Marcus asks staff if he can meet this dog. Staff member unlocks the kennel. Opens the door. The dog doesn't run out crazy. He walks directly to Marcus. Then launches. Wraps both front paws around Marcus's neck. Won't let go. Marcus falls backward. Sitting on the floor. Dog in his lap. Paws still wrapped around his neck. Pressing his face into Marcus's shoulder. Marcus wraps his arms around the dog. They stay like that. Staff member filming says "I've never seen Zeus act like this. He's been here eight months. Scared of men. Won't let men touch him." Marcus is crying. Says "He won't let go. He's holding onto me." They sat on that shelter floor for forty-three minutes. Zeus would not release his grip around Marcus's neck. Marcus adopted Zeus on the spot. Staff said when Marcus tried to stand up to do paperwork, Zeus panicked. Wouldn't let go. Marcus had to carry Zeus to the front desk. Sign papers one-handed while Zeus clung to him. Marcus told us: "I wasn't sure I was ready for a dog. But Zeus decided for me. He chose me. And he won't let me go. Maybe that's exactly what I need." Sometimes the best therapy is a shelter dog who wraps himself around you and refuses to let go until you understand you're supposed to take him home

This footage was filmed yesterday afternoon at the "Second Chance" shelter in Tampa, Florida. The veteran is named Marcus; he is 36 years old and a former Marine. He suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). His therapist had suggested he get a dog. Marcus had gone there just to take a look; he wasn't sure he was ready. As he walks down the row of kennels... Most of the dogs are barking. Jumping. It’s an overwhelming situation. Then Marcus walks past a kennel. There’s a Pit Bull inside. A male. About four years old. The dog doesn't bark. He simply stands up. He pushes his snout through the bars. He stares at Marcus. Marcus stops. Marcus pulls the dog close. They stay like that. The staff member filming says, "I've never seen Zeus act like this. He's been here for eight months. He's afraid of men. He doesn't let men touch him." Marcus cries. He says, "He doesn't want to let go. He's clinging to me." Marcus adopted Zeus right then and there. Staff said that when Marcus tried to stand up to handle the paperwork, Zeus panicked. He didn't want to let him go. Marcus had to carry Zeus in his arms to the reception desk. He signed the papers with one hand while Zeus stayed clinging to him. Marcus told us, "I wasn't sure I was ready for a dog. But Zeus decided for me. He chose me. And he doesn't want to let go. Maybe that's exactly what I need." Sometimes the best therapy is a shelter dog who hugs you and refuses to let go until you realize you have to take him home with you.
