CARSON, CALIFORNIA — An abandoned dog who broke the internet’s heart when he cried like a baby has been spared the euthanization needle. <br /> <br />Video of a teary-eyed AJ the pit bull-labrador mix was uploaded to social media in February, but has only recently started going viral. <br /> <br />It has now clocked up more than half a million views on the Saving Carson Shelter Dogs Facebook page, a community of concerned canine-lovers based in California. <br /> <br />Six-year-old AJ was left at the shelter along with his brother Toby, when their owners couldn’t afford to take care of them any more. <br /> <br />AJ’s tears were wiped away just days later though, when he was adopted by a loving new family. Even better, the family also decided to adopt Toby too. <br /> <br />A follow-up video shows a happier-looking AJ leaving the shelter and looking forward to spending time with his bro’ once again. Awwww … Don’t you just love happy endings?
