Shana Cletcher was scrolling through social media on a recent evening, when she stumbled upon an emotional video about a senior rescue dog named Achilles.

The TikTok showed a 12-year-old German Shepherd living in a shelter in Atlanta. When a volunteer took him out for a walk, it was clear the dog was frantically searching for his owner in the parking lot. He went from car to car.
