You just can’t make this stuff up! When you think you have it all sorted out, when you’re confident that your plan will unfold the way you planned it – there goes life redirecting you closer to where you need to be! It may appear one way – like you’re supposed to adopt THIS dog – but then some things get shuffled around, and you end up with another dog who in turn changes your life!
Drew walked into the shelter already signed up to take home a specific dog. At the last minute, however, those plans fell through, and another family adopted that dog. So Drew continued his search and noticed a funny, strange dog jumping up and down, grunting in a weird voice, over in the corner. This pup instantly caught the man’s attention.
He immediately gravitated towards the chatty dog and took him for a walk. It was an instant connection. Drew wanted to take Dennis, the 9-year-old pit bull mix, home right there and then, but the dog was already signed up by another family for adoption. This news is good to know, the more pets adopted, the better it is. But, Drew felt too much of a connection and opted to foster Dennis until the family was ready, two weeks later. He was told that it was a bad idea because he would get attached – he did.
The two became inseparable. And Drew learned a lot about his new furry friend. Dennis doesn’t bark, he’s rather chatty and sounds like a pig and seal combined, making grunts and little sounds all the time. Like when they’re driving, or when he’s told to sit down! Dennis listens, and he understands, showcasing an extensive vocabulary, able to pick up on a lot of verbal communication. They get each other; it was like a match made in heaven.
It was really hard for Drew when he had to give him up after two weeks. But, life works in mysterious ways, because the family Dennis was supposed to go to saw how Drew and Dennis forged a bond and they didn’t want to break that apart. They gave the dog back, and these two have been so happy ever since!
