Sometimes the old saying a picture is worth a thousand words isn’t a long, overused cliche.

Earlier this week, a local branch of the pet rescue society, Angels Among Us, posted a picture of the two girls hugging each other.
Writing from the point of view of the dogs, the group called for help.
“We’re so scared in here. The people working in the shelters see how scared we are but just told each other that today is our deadline. We have to have someone rescue us or we’ll be ‘next’. Keira is black and not a ‘real boxer’, just a mix. She’s so brave and tells me it will be okay no matter what happens. She tells me to be brave too but I don’t know if I can be.”
The group stated that if the pups weren’t saved by the end of the day, they would be put down.http://i-cdn.embed.ly/1/display?key=fd92ebbc52fc43fb98f69e50e7893c13&url=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-xtf1%2Fv%2Ft1.0-9%2Fs720x720%2F11745938_10153200133257912_3084399530130311610_n.jpg%3Foh%3Dbdb31a08632915d4d087142a5c3a75b9%26oe%3D56190B3A
Luckily for the pair, the post spread quickly across social media and after only two hours, Kala and Keira were picked up by an unnamed vet.
Even after widespread press coverage and television appearances, the pals are still looking for a permanent home having been placed in foster care.
If they don’t mind the transatlantic flight, our couch/warm spot on the kitchen floor/bed is free…
