‘I thought he was a fox, but it’s a full-on puppy covered in paint': Woman nearly hits a stray puppy while driving at night, she swears to drop him off at the shelter the next morning, but bonds with him instead

Driving at night can be fraught with dangers, but what this woman found, unforeseen in the dark, was a lifelong buddy and a soul-bonded puppy just waiting to be discovered. But first, she would have to endure the emotional rollercoaster of her dog-loving fate. 

At first, she thought the puppy was a fox, dashing across the highway in the void of the night, but it was actually a scared, malnourished stray, covered in paint and desperately calling out for a hooman hand to help him. Luckily for both these kindred souls, the woman went back for him, scooping him into her arms and embarking on a night she would never—could never—forget. Keep scrolling for the adorable story of a woman and her soul puppy, bonding overnight over a batch of boiled chicken, steamed rice, and a love that could never be matched.
