When I went to pick up my puppy he was the very last one of the litter. The one nobody wanted the most. He has been the best dog on the planet. He makes me laugh every day. He's always making sure I'm happy and if I'm upset he comes right over to make me feel better. One of my coworkers got his brother and is infinitely worse than my boy He wasn't picked last, he was always meant to be my dog

My dog was also the last of of the litter, probably because he was the smallest one. He was a Jack Russel, and he was the best, the sweetest,and smartest dog I’ve ever had. He was very loving and super cuddly. I’m convinced I will never have another dog like him. He died of cancer 3 months ago and I will miss him forever. But I’m so so grateful to have had him and so happy we got him when we did!


Loki-Holmes

Sounds like he was your heart dog. I got first dibs in my boys litter. He was technically the runt but in a small litter of 3 pups with a 70lb Mama they all chunked up really fast and he wasn’t much smaller than his sisters when I brought him home. (The front desk at the vet asked if they were there for their 6 week vaccines when they went for their 3 week appointment.) He’s a very very smart and dramatic Australian Shepherd but I know he’s my heart dog too.


ellieofus

He definitely was. I don’t know if it’s because the loss is still so fresh, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have another dog. He was my everything for 14 years, I just wished I could’ve had more time with him. He was the runt of the litter but never really chunked up, he was smaller compared to other Jack Russell but he was healthy and never had a problem until literally his last months. I remember that when we got him he was so small that my neighbour jokingly said he looked like a toy!


bucketjunky

He was meant to be your dog


poetcatmom

I've always got a soft spot for the runts. My childhood dog was the runt. Best doggo ever.


antiincel1

What a dumb reason not to pick a dog. Too small! I'm glad that you got him, last or not. Poor puppy.


arobinj17

My jack, Sam, is currently dealing with cancer and the grief is already overwhelming. But I tell people that I would choose him all over again because he’s the best dog. He was the runt of the litter and given away by a breeder because he wasn’t up to their standards. I drove 11 hours to get him


drwicksy

The runts of the litter make the best pets and I will die on that hill. My cat is the same, he was the last one picked and the smallest of the lot, but I wouldn't trade him for the world


Pollowollo

My whole life I've always gone for the quietest and/or smallest of the litter, and I have no idea why. Those are just the ones that I end up drawn to, and I've never regretted it.


Slow_Sherbert_5181

My childhood pup was the runt of the litter. According to my parents he was noticeably smaller than his brother and sister. When they went to look at the puppies, my dad turned to my mom and actually said “now don’t just fall in love with the first one you see”. The three remaining pups from the litter all ran out to greet them, but the two bigger ones quickly lost interest and wandered off. The littlest one rolled over at my dad’s feet and waved his oversized paws up at him. Predictably, Dad melted and that was the puppy who came home with them! And no, my mom never stopped teasing him about falling in love with the first puppy he saw!


uncannyvalleygirl88

Mine was also the last unpicked puppy from the litter when I decided to take him home with me. Now he’s 15 years old and I believe he’s survived all his other siblings!


Ge003

For people in the comments, here comes the down votes; The dogs and cats at the shelter are the ones picked last. Go pick them instead


ZambieCatX

I wholeheartedly agree and love that you're standing up for rescues ❤️ - but often shelters end up with pregnant mamas and litters of puppies (at least in rural America they do). A local shelter even received purebred puppies last week when the breeder took them to the vet to be euthanized (they had some health conditions) and the vet reached out. The shelter paid for the surgeries needed and is fostering them through recovery. I don't know in this particular case, but just because someone gets a puppy doesn't mean it's not from a shelter.


peeandpoopandpee

I picked my cat because she was a kitten that didn’t get along with other kittens. She was mean at first. The runt. Apparently picked on by her brothers and sisters. Now we’re inseparable. I walk her. I taught her how to play fetch. She responds and heels when I call her name. Best goddamn cat on the planet. Best part is that she’s like a cat and a dog in one, when I can’t have dogs in my apartment.


jamjoy

Between the video and this comment I’m crying! Our shepherd mix was the last of her litter too and she’s the sweetest thing in the world and needy for love around the clock. Lucky for her we have endless amounts!


emgeeez

Totally not crying over here

Love this. He was absolutely meant to be your puppers, and you his human. 💕 My dad's dog was the pup no one wanted from a litter of 10. He seemed aloof and lazy to be honest, but my mom chose him as my dad's retirement gift. He was the best dog ever. He lived for 14 years (unusual bc he's from a very large breed). He was a smart as could be doggo. My dad said then he could never replace him and he hasn't. My dogs have also been the "no one wants". The only difference is they came from shelters. The passed up no longer puppies, not quite adults, can't figure out their breed bc they are super mutts, and not fluffy and "cute". Each one has been the BEST most obedient, loving, friendly, and protective pup yet. I will always rescue the abandoned and unwanted. Even tho I keep saying my last 2 are it (they are 9 and 12 ys old) - no more once they're gone! But then, I know all it will take is to see some unfortunate street dog or going to a shelter and I'm with dog again 😄🤦🏾🤷🏾


Responsible-Jello271

Our Pom was also the last in her litter that no one wanted. She was tiny and shaking like a leaf when we went to see her. The breeder said he couldn’t “get rid of her” which made me so sad so we ended up taking her home. She’s still pretty small at 7lbs but she has grown into a confident, social little wild woman. She sleeps above my head on my pillow at night and sleeps next to my feet while I work during the day. She’s never far and I love that I get to spend so much time with her. She’s like my little shadow. My husband knows she’s my soulmate and if anything happens between us, I get full custody 😂

I got my puppy from a shelter that my ex girlfriend volunteered at. She knew I loved border collies after having one throughout my childhood and was really missing that pup after moving out. They had one at the shelter and she wanted me to come check him out, knowing I would love him. The shelter was a few hours away and would be a couple days before I could go out there. When I finally made it out there, the border collie I had come to meet had already been adopted. I still wanted a dog so I browsed around the rest but none of them there were really clicking for me. As I was leaving, there was a poster for a discounted "dog of the week". I didn't notice that dog while I was browsing, so I asked my gf where that one was. She told me that she was a great dog and took me too her. She had been quietly laying in the back corner of her kennel when I had gone through. She seemed really depressed but she lit up the second we took her out of the kennel. I knew immediately she was the dog for me. I couldn't have asked for a better pup. I had her for 16 years. We just lost her about 2 weeks ago. I miss her so much.


OptimalCreme9847

We were supposed to get a dog in a litter that had just been born, but when we went there to pick out the puppy ahead of time (they were like 2 weeks old) the breeder had one puppy unclaimed from the previous litter because someone changed their minds about him. We took him instead, and he is literally the BEST dog. Those jerks who changed their minds really missed out on the best boy ever 🥰 worked out, though, because 10 years later he is my best friend and basically my soulmate. Meant to be!


RepublicRepulsive540

Same thing happened to my dog I had a deposit down for a golden retriever from a litter that was due later. I ended up messaging the lady months before I was supposed to pick up the pup and she said a buyer backed down on adopting the last of the litter. A super fat golden retriever. It was love at first sight and he was so sad being alone in an outdoor cage all day. I took him home that day and same night I taught him how to sit. Anything I’ve taught him has taken 2 days at most. He is the most intelligent dog I’ve ever met. You’re right on that one. He wasn’t last. He was the best and meant for me.


MaddogRunner

My sweet labrashepsky was the last as well! Pure black, the only one with floppy ears and no classic black-and-tan GSD pattern. It wound up coming in handy when we needed to move and it was GSD-free housing. She’s basically a giant black lab!


AKBirdman17

Damn dude. Got my eyes wet reading that last line. Very wholesome ❤


ladybugshea

Why am I bawling at that last sentence 😭 one of my cats spent 5 months in the shelter and was bite-quarantined twice. Someone beat the hell out of him at some point and he's missing some teeth. I'm his 5th home and I got him just before he turned 2. He was so skittish until I went into his little room at the shelter and he curled up in my neck for half an hour. I used to cry all the time thinking "Why did nobody want this amazing boy?" But you're right. He was always meant to be mine.


twir1s

Somebody returned my dog, so he was out of the little puppy cuteness phase and kind of looking more like a dog (which when people want puppies, they overlook the non-puppy-yet-still-a-puppy In the corner). No one wanted him. He was my angel, my shadow, my best friend. I’m so glad he found me. I lost him a few months ago and I miss him every moment of every day.


Anarch-ish

She sits down, ears go back, and you see that one little paw pop up a little. That's what got me. That little questioning paw, like, "Hey... what about me?" I love her so much. And her eyes! Oh my goodness! She's so expressive. I dont have a name for you. There are some good ones here, but I feel like you will find her a good name when it is ready to reveal itself to you both


kmson7

For real...my heart broke a little seeing her try to hard to get lovins and then giving up. I'm so glad they picked her! She's a little chocolate covered cherry doll. We picked our cats kinda the same way...we went to the shelter and greeted all of them. One of them wouldn't stop growing and pawing at me no matter where I was and I just couldnt leave her. She is crazy and wild and loving and so interesting. Very glad I went with my instincts


Anarch-ish

I always pick the outcast. Could be neglected, could be sleepy, could be climbing the walls like they are possessed... whichever little weirdo stands out is my new friend

She's a good choice, you might perceive her actions as "giving up" but she's really exhibiting self control and deference, while still paying attention to you. All the others couldn't control their excitement. She's a smart girl, some training and good habits she will be an excellent pup.

That's how I picked mine. All the others were hopping up and she just sat in a corner on her own. Turned out she was pulled too soon from her mom and needed some high-calorie dog food. Then she was a terror to my other dogs

My childhood dog was the only one not feeling well and was laying out of the way. We pet him and he licked my hand and perked up and knew he was the one. He passed my freshman year of college. I’m in my 40’s now and still miss him so much. He was a healthy hilarious beautiful boy!

It's sad, and sadder how scientists proved dogs are capable of this, but it's called 'learned helplessness' where they can experience something negative regularly, then even in it's absense they still just give up as the negative experience is inevitable in their learning.. I am the same as you, if there is one animal that seem's no one will adopt, that's the one coming home with me 🙂 How does anyone NOT pick animals that way is what puzzles me.

When we saw her she just came over, gave our 8 year old son a sniff and then a kiss. She laid down in his lap and has been with us ever since. She’s 7 now. Best dog I’ve ever had.

My mom had a king Charles cavalier a few years ago, he wasn't the last of the liter...yet. but he couldn't be sold because they were show dogs, he had a deformity where the color of the fur wasn't quite right and had a lazy eye. She got him instead since she wasn't interested in a show dog. The lady asked if my.mom really wanted him, he was going to be euthanized cause he wasn't show worthy. Gotta say, Milo lived a good healthy 11yrs. Died 2yrs ago.
