The "thank-you's" only continued when they brought him to his forever home. The owners told Newsweek via TikTok that McFlurry had a similar reaction to the dog they rescued from Bali: nothing but "love and gratitude."

"You can see pure joy in his eyes and smile," they said. "He is a perfect fit for our family and adjusting well."

The heartwarming TikTok video reached over 73,800 views, 18,300 likes and 827 comments as of Monday.

"That is love my man. Pure and unadulterated," said a viewer, while another added: "How he knows you're saving him."

A third person commented: "Congrats buddy. Enjoy this new life u so deserve. Thank you for rescuing. They are the best breed."

Another user wrote: "Aww he's so happy to finally have a family."

A family of Xolos, one of the most ancient dog breeds in the world

 

About the Breed

The 5,000-year-old Xoloitzcuintli (pronounced "show-low-eats-QUEENT-lee"), the ancient Aztec dog of the gods, is today a loving companion and vigilant watchdog.

The Xoloitzcuintli comes in three sizes (toy, miniature, and standard), and two varieties (hairless and coated). The hairless has tough, smooth, close-fitting skin. The coated variety is covered by a short, flat coat. Both varieties come in dark colors ranging from black, gray-black, and slate to red, liver, or bronze. Its face is thoughtful and intelligent, and a Xolo's forehead will wrinkle when he's deep in thought. The Xolo's graceful, elegant body is surprisingly strong and rugged.

More information on the Xoloitzcuintli dog breed can be found at The American Kennel Club.

Dogs Bring Loads of Joy but Also Perils on a Leash

NEW YORK (AP) — The cuddles. The loyalty. The worshipful eyes. There's a lot of joy in having a dog, not the least of which is heading out for a brisk walk. And therein lies a peril some dog people should pay more attention to.

Over the past 20 years, injuries related to dog walking have been on the rise among adults and children in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University researchers. Fractures, sprains and head trauma are among the most common.

From 2001 to 2020, the estimated number of adults seen at emergency departments for dog-walking injuries increased significantly, from 7,300 to 32,300 a year, lead researcher Ridge Maxson told The Associated Press. Most patients were women (75%). Adults overall between ages 40 and 64 amounted to 47%.

And that's just emergency room visits. “We know that a significant number of people might seek treatment at primary care, specialty or urgent care clinics for their injuries,” Maxson said.

Dog ownership has become increasingly common, he noted, with about half of U.S. households having at least one dog. The pandemic contributed to the spike.
