These two dogs have proven that a hug can save lives.
Kala and Kira are two stray dogs.
An image of the brown Kala kissing her best friend was posted on Facebook and two hours later they both found loving new foster families.
The photo was published by an animal welfare organization that rescues stray dogs and cats throughout Georgia, USA.
Dog hugs send a strong message to the world and show that not all pets have a good chance at life and we still have a long way to go.
Two hours and six minutes after the photo was posted and went viral, they found a loving new foster family.
Two friends lived together because the family did not want to separate them, for which we are deeply grateful to them.
Kala and Kira are now enjoying life with their new owners, and as you can see in the photos below, they are now more than ever inseparable.
