Little moments can make a huge difference, as this clip shows. And while it was only a few seconds of happiness, this interaction meant everything to Hubert. 

Brindle boy Hubert's home is currently the Tierschutzverein Franziskushof Kalletal shelter in Germany. 

Staff do all they can to make him comfortable, taking the time to give him the attention he desperately craves.

Comforting cuddles

The shelter environment can be overwhelming and stressful for any dog, and this is often particularly true for dogs whose families have surrendered.

In the 17-second clip, we see how much Hubert needs the companionship and affection he would have been used to in his past life. 

So relaxed he almost looks asleep, the rescue pup is enjoying every single second of this precious interaction. He even wrapped his paws around the staff member's arm to stop them leaving.

New beginnings for Hubert

While Hubert can also be seen running and playing in the shelter's exercise area, it's often the quiet moments of connection that make him the happiest. 

"Hubert enjoys every moment you spend with him," the rescuers explain in the post's caption. Now, they just hope that the right family will see this special boy and offer him a loving and devoted home for the rest of his life.
