Dog gets dressed up in top hat to meet new owners - but they never arrive

This adorable video shows a dog that's up for adoption - wearing a snazzy top hat to attract potential owners.

Gulliver is a resident of Verde Valley Humane Society, and he's lived at the shelter for 265 days so far.

A spokesperson from the centre in Arizona, US, said that Gulliver is still looking for his forever home, so they helped him dress up so he looked his best.

But in a heartbreaking post they said that despite the adorable dog dressing up to look nice, nobody wanted to meet Gulliver so he's staying at the shelter for a while longer yet.

What do you think about Gulliver's hat? Let us know in the comments...

The shelter posted a video on TikTok, where they upload as @verdevalleyhumanesociety, and shared an update about Gulliver.

They said: "When you get all dressed up for potential adopters but nobody asks to meet you."

Gulliver's video has been viewed more than 800,000 times and many TikTok users commented saying they would love to adopt him.

One said: "He's only 30 minutes away from me. Talking about it to my husband now."

Then a second wrote: "Someone go adopt this sweet handsome boy right now! He deserves the universe."

And a third added: "Can we somehow get him to Vegas?! I’d take him!"

"What a handsome and dashing gentleman," commented a fourth user. "Thank you sir for being so squeezable and cute!"

Meanwhile, a black labrador has been smiling at everybody who walks past him in kennels in the hope that somebody will stop and be charmed by his cheeky grin.

And lucky for Burreaux, his plan paid off.

Burreaux is one of three siblings to have been brought to the Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana by director Courtney Wingate, who clocked the eight-week-old dog's smile when visiting an animal control centre.

She name the pups after three Louisiana State University Football players - Burreaux, Joe and O.
