I have to say, I am not a huge fan of rapping in general, but I think I just fell in love with Snoop Dogg, the infamous rapper and sometimes over the top celebrity.

The story begins with a young Staffordshire terrier being abandoned on the streets of England by its owner just driving off and leaving the dog behind. The agonizing and heart breaking video shows the poor dog seemingly begging to not be left behind. The footage was caught on surveillance video and ultimately released on twitter by Rachel Butler, who works as a regional manager for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) .

The dog who they named Snoop, is a lucky pup to be brought to RSPCA which is England's largest animal charity. Once the video was released, it created a barrage of people clamoring to give the poor baby a home. The video ended up attracting the actual Snoop Dogg who commented, “There is always room for another dog in Casa de Snoop,” when speaking to The Daily Star. “If he really needed a home then he has one with us."

Ms. Butler reported that for the moment Snoop (the actual dog) is doing great, is settled for now and is safe and sound. As far as Snoop's future, she commented, "..we have had scores of people wanting to rehome him so we are certain he will not be waiting long for a new home.” Sweet dreams Snoop the Dog.
