Crying Pit Bull Goes Viral – But The Look On Her Face When She’s Adopted Takes Internet By Storm A video of this pit bull “crying” in a shelter went viral and helped her find her forever home. Sarah Sleime regularly volunteers with the Greater Charlotte SPCA, and she was visiting a shelter in North Carolina that Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control runs when she came across this dog. Talking to the Dodo, Sleime explained her reaction to this sweet, sad pit t bull: I was waiting for them to health check a couple of the dogs we were considering pulling, and I was walking up and down the kennels, and I just saw this pit bull sitting there, and she was very humanlike – slumped over and very solemn.” Sleime felt the need to get closer, so she: “Bent over and started talking to her.” When she got a closer look, Sleime realized that this pit bull recently had puppies. The pit bull was seven years old, and her puppies weren’t with her at the moment. According to Sleime, as she talked, the pooch’s eyes watered and it looked like they filled with tears. Although experts still aren’t sure whether dogs cry emotional tears like humans, Sleime could tell without a doubt that this pit bull was upset. She had been recently surrendered and was also extremely overweight. Sleime told the Dodo that the workers at the shelter:“Believe she was confined and used as a breeding machine. She’s obviously had many, many litters.” Because this pit bull was a big dog, however, Sleime knew that the Greater Charlotte SPCA wouldn’t be able to help her.
