Dogs.

They are definitely better than people, and seeing them hurt is one of the most heartbreaking things in the world. Even veterinarians hate it when they have to put animals down due to old age or medical condition.

And if there’s someone who loves dogs more than anything, that would be Roman McConn.

The 7-year-old boy has saved more than 1,200 dogs from being put down! He found inspiration to do something for dogs after visiting a ‘high-kill’ animal center with his mother.

Roman spent the last two years finding loving homes for dogs, and his efforts melt people’s hearts.

The young boy and his mother, 36-year-old Jennifer, started Project Freedom Ride, a charitable organization, to help animals find their own forever homes.

“(Roman) inspired me to get involved in rescue and after a video of him visiting with a shelter dog went viral, Project Freedom Ride was renewed,” Jennifer shared. “We were able to fund transfers again.”

She continued: “I never thought Project Freedom Ride and Roman would receive this much attention – we thought we’d just save a few dogs.

“People have really gravitated towards Roman, because he’s articulate, empathetic with the dogs and when he sees a problem he wants to fix it.

“It’s because of him that we’ve been able to do this – it’s been incredible. Without him we wouldn’t have been able to continue.”

Roman also said: “We saw a local shelter in Texas every other weekend at Petsmart. We saw so many dogs that needed homes, so for my birthday, instead of presents we raised donations for our local shelter.

“There have been a few dogs that are very hyper and I’ve been scared to meet with them, but they’re really just puppies and they’re so sweet.

“We really enjoy it.

“We would love, love, love your support.”
