While the clever puppy remained in his kennel, he noticed something special inside the shelter workers’ hands. Each time a dog got adopted, they placed a card inside their cage, letting others know that the dog was taken. The brown card became something of envy for the puppy. He wanted one, too, since he saw that the brown card meant the dogs were freed from isolation and greeted by a loving family.

When a man showed interest in the puppy, he asked the staff if he could hold him. Once the puppy was in his arms, the guy immediately knew this was the dog for him! The puppy eagerly agreed. The man informed staff that he wanted to make the adoption official and after he filled out the paperwork, a shelter worker came over with the desirable brown card. The pup knew exactly what that meant.
