For the past twenty years, Kayla Filoon has worked with homeless dogs. She started as a dog walker for the ACCT Philly. Recently Kayla meat Russ, a 4-year-old pit bull. Russ was a little special. Kayla remembers that Russ came into the shelter very thin and had patchy fur.

Maybe it was the way he looked at her. Have you felt that connection with an animal?

Kayla had been chosen by Russ. Kayla and Russ went for a long walk.
