In a world where love should conquer all, it seems some folks missed the memo. Fezco, the lovable pooch, captured hearts worldwide after his absurd story came to light.

His owners made a perplexing decision to abandon him simply because they deemed him "gay." Yes, you heard that right – apparently, even dogs can face discrimination based on their perceived sexual orientation.

Stanly County Animal Protective Services (SCAPS) in Albemarle, North Carolina, became Fezco's temporary home after his owners decided his harmless antics were just too scandalous to bear. 

What exactly was Fezco's crime? One might ask. You see, he engaged in some innocent dog-on-dog humping with a male counterpart – a behavior that's as normal in the canine world as chasing squirrels or begging for treats.

But fear not, for every cloud has a silver lining. Fezco, with his friendly demeanor, didn't let this setback dampen his spirit—and neither did the wonderful folks at SCAPS. 

They championed his cause and shared his story far and wide, and soon enough, Fezco's tale caught the attention of a cheerful gay couple. They saw beyond his misunderstood behavior and into the loving heart of a furry friend in need. 

With open arms (and perhaps a few extra belly rubs), the couple welcomed Fezco into their home, proving that love truly knows no bounds – not even species-specific ones.

Poor Fezco was accused of being ‘gay’ by his owners and abandoned  at a pet shelter in North Carolina

Wonder if it was the humping that made the owners conclude that Fezco is gay

Apparently, people call up animal shelters with suspicion that their dog could be gay.

"Male dogs hump other male dogs to assert dominance."

According to this user, Gay animals do exist.

South Park was ahead of their time. Interestingly, it's been over two decades since that episode was aired

This user watched their male cat form an inseparable relationship with another male

"A dog can't be gay. Or straight. Or bisexual. They're dogs."

"I have a goat that is gay. When he was still intact, he would exclusively court other males and never females."

"We currently have a Male Cat that refuses to hump the Female Cat that is in heat."

This couple observed their dog long enough to know that it was gay. And they supported him without thinking twice

Imagine having a gay dog that helps you get ready in the morning.

The black and brown bundle of joy now spends his days showered with affection from his new dads. And as for his previous owners? Well, let's just say they missed out on the opportunity to witness the unwavering loyalty and unconditional love that Fezco brings to those lucky enough to know him.

So, here's to Fezco and his happily ever after – a heartwarming reminder that love, in all its forms, conquers prejudice and finds its way home.
