The video showed a photo of Meg in a shelter with a dog.

The text overlay reads, “In January 2020, you take a spontaneous trip to the Human Society. There will be a dog you ask to see. The employee accidentally brings you the wrong dog.”

Meg added, “It is very important that you still adopt that dog.”

The video then showed the pooch chewing on a bone and playing in water.

The text overlay reads, “He’s a horrible dog. But he’s perfect, anyway.”

Meg wrote in the caption, “Time for my semi annual content. Adopt a shelter pet!”
