It did n’t take long for mellifluous - faced Guapo to find a new perpetually home , and it ’s all thanks to a Facebook berth that give inwardness across the body politic .

" fleshly giving up are one of the toughest things for us here at OCAS to understand , " the June 7 mail by Orange County Animal Services read .

The accompanying video , set to Kate Bush ’s " Running Up That Hill " begins with a closeup of Guapo ’s mild , achingly sad side .

" It ’s been proven that bounder startle to see their possessor as family after just a short time with them , " the Emily Price Post concludes . " All we can do is call for is that you do the same . "

From that 17 - second video , Guapo became an absolute maven .

" The response we received for him was overwhelming , " a shelter spokespersontold Fox 35 . " the great unwashed came in by the dozens to see Guapo , and we received a ton of email requests for information on this poor , sad cad . "

The requests quickly turn into visit , and by the very next day , the tax shelter wasposting a videoof Guapo ( now named Rosco ) with his new forever family . Then , in a Emily Price Post just this morning , the shelter post a series of pic — include some from his unexampled home — show how dramatic an essence a small love had on the 2 - year - old pup .

" This is why we do what we do , " the late Wiley Post learn . " Why we show our dogs in a dissimilar fashion . Because we know that what people see behind those dog house bars is n’t always what we see every day . It is n’t always what ’s really inwardly . "
