After waiting a while for people to arrive the volunteers at FAPF decided all their hard work shouldn't go to waste the dogs were wearing fresh new collars and harnesses Each volunteer took a dog and hiked along the path together, and Reka said they had an amazing time, despite the circumstances. The hike lasted around two hours, taking in a beautiful trail in the Hungarian countryside; the dogs got to swim in the river "The dogs had the most amazing time and had no idea that we were all a bit sad We just decided to focus on them and let them enjoy to it," Reka told Newsweek "Many of these dogs have been living in the kennels for years with no interest due to their breed or because they come with a heavy past This was maybe the best day of their lives and we are sure Csoki was watching from above." Footage from the adoption event was shared on TikTok (@fapf_hungary) highlighting that "no one showed up" to meet the dogs. The video has left many people in tears since it was posted, generating more than 37,900 views and over 10,200 likes on TikTok in just a number of days Sadly, the social-media attention hasn't led to any adoption interest yet, but Reka said she hopes it will at least raise awareness for "the forgotten dogs," such as the bully breeds "These dogs are my heart and passion—the misunderstood dogs who deserve a chance," Reka said "We are a group of extremely passionate volunteers who put everything into the fight against the animal welfare crisis in this country especially when our dogs find loving homes." Many social-media users were horrified to find out that no one turned up for the adoption event leading to almost 1,500 comments on the viral TikTok video One comment reads: "It hurts my heart to read this Praying these beautiful pups are given a chance at an amazing life and find loving forever homes." A third person added: "This breaks my heart Thank you for everything you do for these gorgeous babies."
