"GMA" Surprises Bryan Reisberg, the Man Who is Using His Love for Corgis to Help Shelter Dogs Find Homes Bryan Reisberg, a New York City resident, has become an internet sensation for his unique way of commuting to work - carrying his corgi, Maxine, on his subway rides. But what started as a simple act of love for his furry companion has now turned into a mission to help shelter dogs find their forever homes. Reisberg's love for corgis began when he adopted Maxine from a shelter three years ago. Since then, the inseparable duo has been spotted on various subway lines, with Maxine comfortably perched on Reisberg's shoulder or in his arms. Their adorable pictures and videos have gone viral, capturing the hearts of people all over the world. But Reisberg's love for corgis doesn't end with Maxine. He has always been passionate about helping shelter dogs and raising awareness about the importance of adoption. So, when he noticed that many adoptable dogs were not getting the attention they deserved, he decided to use his viral fame for a good cause. Reisberg started carrying adoptable dogs on his subway rides, giving them exposure and a chance to interact with potential adopters. He documents these heartwarming encounters on his Instagram page, @subwaydoodle, which has over 200,000 followers. His posts not only showcase the adorable dogs but also provide information about their personalities and how to adopt them. His efforts have not gone unnoticed. Recently, Reisberg was surprised by the hosts of "Good Morning America" (GMA) for his selfless act of kindness. In a heartwarming segment, GMA's Lara Spencer and Michael Strahan surprised Reisberg with a special guest - Maxine's brother, who was also adopted from the same shelter. The reunion of the two corgis left Reisberg in tears, and the audience in awe. But the surprises didn't end there. GMA also presented Reisberg with a $10,000 donation to the shelter where he adopted Maxine and her brother. The donation will help the shelter continue their efforts in rescuing and finding homes for more dogs in need. Reisberg's dedication to helping shelter dogs has not only touched the hearts of many but has also made a significant impact. Many of the dogs he has featured on his Instagram page have been adopted, and the shelters have received an increase in inquiries and donations. His efforts have also inspired others to use their platforms for a good cause. In an interview with GMA, Reisberg said, "I never expected this to happen. I just wanted to help these dogs find homes, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to do so." He also hopes that his actions will encourage more people to adopt and not shop for pets. Reisberg's story is a reminder that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. His love for corgis has not only brought joy to his life but has also brought hope to many shelter dogs. He has shown that anyone can make a positive impact, no matter how big or small. So, the next time you see a cute dog on your commute, remember Bryan Reisberg and his mission to help shelter dogs. You never know, that dog you see on the subway might just be looking for their forever home. And who knows, you might just find your new best friend.
