We love a pawdorable happy ending when it comes to fur families! Doggos are precious angels that just want AND deserve all the love they can get. Unfortunately, they don't always get that because humans are complicated… It breaks our heart, but dog lovers do the best they can to make sure every dog they come by has a loving home. 

 

Take, for instance, Rocco's story. This sweet bean was a little rough around the edges. We don't know his story with his previous family, but he was very skinny, had patches of fur missing, and kept running away. Luckily, he followed his heart and kept running away to the same family. The first time he found them, the dog mom was walking her dog and came across this little baby. It was extra surprising because he looked JUST like her dog that she was walking.

  • After a few returns to his original home, he would always end up back at their doorstep. Finally, the owners told them to just keep him and thus blossomed this beautiful fur family. Rocco is bursting with love and getting all the love back in return. Like we said, we love a pawdorable happy ending! 

  • "A happy ending"

    Me to my husband: "Babe I was walking our dog and I found a dog that looked just like ours, he was walking alone with no collar... I brought him inside"
