A Chicago shelter welcomed in a transfer of puppies from Memphis, but what they discovered was an extra dog among that bunch that didn't belong.
Scott runs the Instagram account @4evertails and volunteers at local animal shelters across Chicago. He uses his social media to show off the available dogs in need of forever homes. And his recent day with Pimiento quickly melted hearts.
Pimiento, a 4-month-old pit bull mix, lived in a shelter in West Memphis. However, he somehow managed to get "scooped into the wrong squad," the caption on Scott's June 9 Instagram video said. That squad was a litter of puppies that was being transferred to One Tail at a Time, an animal rescue based in Chicago.
During Pimiento's day with Scott, the two went out for a walk in the city, where people came up to pet the pup. He made sure people knew Pimiento was available for adoption.
Scott showed off the dog's unique stature—short and long, with front paws that bow out. He even snapped pictures of the pup to give him a better shot at adoption, as good photos can help pets get adopted faster and attract potential adopters to shelters, an article from PetFinder states.
"[The shelter] had said they would take him back, but One Tail is an incredible organization, and any dog that comes under their care, they will do everything to get adopted," Scott told Newsweek.
The Memphis shelter "didn't mean to send" Pimiento along with the puppies, but as it turned out, everything happens for a reason; he has been adopted and is officially off the market.

The Instagram video of Pimiento quickly became a hit, bringing in over 123,000 views and 8,758 likes as of Friday. People fell in love with this pup, calling him the "cutest dog."
"I would carry him everywhere. He's amazing," wrote one viewer, to which Scott replied he was doing that on their walk: "His little legs could only get him so far."
Another added: "Love his sitting pose, such a cutie pie."
A third person commented: "I love the flippers."
One Tail at a Time even chimed in: "The sweetest and silliest little guy! Thanks for showing him off."

Your Spice Jar Lids Have a Not-So-Secret Feature That Everyone Is Just Finding Out About — And It's Totally Brilliant

I have a spice rack in my kitchen that I am very, very proud of. All of the little jars are the same size and shape, with matching labels on the lids that make it easy to spot and grab whatever spice or seasoning I need. While this certainly is aesthetically pleasing, the real reason I set up this rack is because I truly hate the plastic bottles that your seasonings come in. They don't make for a pleasant user experience, and when you go to shake them while you cook, nothing really comes out — or you end up with a huge mess. So I quit the battle and made my own setup. Yet now, after finding out this clever spice jar trick, I'm wondering if all my work to make the perfect spice rack has gone to waste. Here's the hack: Instead of shaking that seasoning or spice jar on top of your plate, pot, or pan, twist the lid back and forth. Yes, just like you would with a pepper mill or a salt grinder; you pinch the plastic perforated top with your thumb and pointer finger, gently twist, and the seasoning will come out effortlessly and evenly. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aaron Turk (@fatsdabarber) This tip was shared on Instagram by Aaron Turk from @fatsdabarber, who hilariously seasons an empty plate with dried herbs and spices and continues to repeat, 'I just learned this today,' as he twists different jars with wide, exasperated eyes. 'You could have been twisting the top this whole time,' he says, his voice full of shock and joy. Fellow home cooks are sharing how 'mind-blown' they are in the comments of Turk's post. 'You mean to tell me all that splashing I've been doing all these years of cooking, I could have saved myself all the cleaning around the stovetop counter? Oh crap, it works, just tested it,' writes one follower. 'I'm sorry for all the mean things I've said to my spice jars,' jokes to say, if you've been getting arm cramps every time you shake your seasonings and spices — and end up with a messy countertop because of it — we apologize that you only just had to learn this post originally ran on The Kitchn.
