Sometimes, fate has a funny way of directing you towards the path you're supposed to be on. For instance, this woman had to get lost before finding her soul dog. She was driving home from an appointment and got lost. She took one wrong turn and, instead of cursing the poor signage on the road or her absent mindedness, she came across something else. She found an abandoned husky puppy. A beautiful dog by some dumpster looking absolutely defeated. 

 

It took some patients, since the pup was so scared, but eventually, she gained her trust and was able to get the dog in her car. She took her home, cleaned her up, filled up tummy, and now they are inseparable. She named her Paloma and she is living her best furever life. Don't you love when a lemon situation turns into lemonade??
