ASK THE EXPERTS WITH CODY

The dog who was "too nice"

found her forever home.

Yes, believe it or not, there is such a thing as an animal being returned to the shelter for being too nice. Evidently, the man who adopted Helena—the dog who was deemed too sweet—was looking for a guard dog, and this sweetie pie just wasn't up for the menacing task. Luckily, though, Helena only had to spend two days in the shelter before being adopted by her new forever family, one who was able to accept her as the bona fide love bug she is.

The German shepherd

who got adopted by Joe Biden.

Back in November 2018, former Vice President Joe Biden was making headlines nationwide—but not for the reasons you'd imagine. Believe it or not, it was because he and his wife Jill had decided to make things official with their foster dog Major by adopting him permanently. People were quick to note how adorably similar Biden and his new German shepherd pup looked, and folks applauded the political pundit for "using [his] fame for such good causes."
