Singer-songwriter Yusuf / Cat Stevens has donated his very first hit song—”I Love My Dog,” which recently marked its 50th anniversary—for PETA to use in a brand new video in celebration of National “Adopt a Shelter Pet” Day on April 30.
More than 6 million dogs and cats end up in animal shelters every year, and half of them have to be euthanized because there simply aren’t enough homes for them. PETA encourages everyone to adopt and never buy from breeders or pet stores, which contribute to the overpopulation crisis.
The dog’s owner is devastated by his loss, but he has also learned how much joy a senior dog can bring into his life. So when he gets a flyer in the mail advertising another dog adoption event, he heads right over and goes to find a new dog in need to bring home.
Grab some tissues and check out the beautiful video below!
