In the quiet routine of daily deliveries, fate had a special moment in store for delivery driver Alan Moncayo.

Arriving with a delivery at the GrubHub shelter in sunny Virginia, United States, Alan was taken by surprise by an encounter that would change his life.

As he approached the shelter’s door, his eyes were captured by a sincere and tender gaze coming from a little dog in the window. Instantly, a unique connection was established between them, and Alan knew that the black and white pit bull mix had captured his heart.

“It was love at first sight,” shared Alan, with a sparkle in his eyes. “He looked at me, and I looked back at him.”

Although the little dog, named Jihoo, was not exactly the small puppy his family had planned to adopt, Alan couldn’t ignore the feeling that this dog was special in some way.

With his 5-year-old daughter in the car, Alan took the opportunity to learn more about Jihoo and found out that he was available for adoption. Surprisingly, Jihoo had already been at the shelter for 240 days, far beyond the average stay for a dog.

Since arriving at the shelter, Jihoo had become a beloved presence, greeting visitors, playing with toys, and spreading joy wherever he went.

And Alan, in that moment, knew that this was the little dog his family had been longing for.

Without hesitation, Alan took Jihoo home that same day, cradling him in his heart with love and gratitude.

And the shelter, in a generous gesture, gifted them with a box, collar, toys, and food, sealing the new bond with care and affection.

The radiant joy on Alan and Jihoo’s faces is a testament to the transformative power of love and compassion.

A story of encounter, connection, and new life that began with a simple gaze through a window, and became a journey of friendship and shared happiness.
