Bobby was just one year old when his family abandoned him a couple weeks before Christmas – a time when you’re supposed to hold onto those you love. The terrier mix was depressed, but to cheer him up, volunteers at the shelter dressed him in a snazzy green sweater. As sharp as he looked, his festive digs didn’t help him get adopted, and by the time February rolled around his time at the shelter was running out.

Thankfully, the media took wind of Bobby’s story and eventually the sweet pup got adopted by Paola Mariaca, who took him on as a therapy dog. She described him as a “very sweet and gentle calm baby” who’s “enjoying all the attention.”
