A dog’s spirit can fade after spending too long in a shelter. Many once-hopeful dogs grow quiet and heartbroken after months of rejection.
Major, a shelter dog from Indiana, was one such case. For over 260 days, he cried continuously after being abandoned by his former owners. Yet, his friends at the shelter never stopped believing that one day, he would find his perfect family.

Major, a four-year-old terrier and pit bull mix, has been under the care of the Hamilton County Humane Society in Indiana. At first, despite the heartbreak of being left behind, Major stayed cheerful. The staff described him as a “sweet and sensitive” boy who loved to play, especially with his favorite Jolly Ball. They called him a “true companion with a big heart,” affectionately nicknaming him “Major Hunk” and “Major Heartthrob.”
