Sometimes, the stories that we read online about people saving animals truly sound like miracles. Right time, right place, happy ending, that kind of story. Like when you read about someone rescuing a kitten that was on the verge of crossing the rainbow bridge and giving it a second chance at life, or someone rescuing a pregnant cat that was abandoned in the woods and desperately needed help, or someone rescuing a kitten that was set to be euthanized for no good reason and completely transforming the cat and the cat's life. 

And when someone tells us that they read a story online six years ago about someone rescuing both an abandoned kitten and also, independently, an abandoned puppy on Halloween and the two animals becoming instant friends… well, we understand why this story goes viral practically every year when we get an update about them. Because something like that happening is a miracle - both animals being happy and healthy and saved by the same person. We hope this story continues to get attention every single year, because it makes us smile every time we see it.

  • You know how people call stories that happen at the end of the year Christmas miracles? Well, we think this must have been the Halloween version of that. To not only find these two animals on the same night, but to have them bond so strongly as well? That's amazing, and it's definitely something worth celebrating every year.

    Shannon Minter @shannonminter5 This will be a fall to remember. First Albert & Squeaky found us on Halloween. And now, another puppy dug a hole under the barn & emerged in our back yard. We think she may be Albert's sibling. We are a bit overwhelmed, but #wewillfigureitout 1:44 AM · Nov 14, 2019

  • We're so happy to be getting updates about this story every year. It's what we wish would happen with every animal that goes viral online. This way, we get to see them grow together and be happy together, and that's so, so amazing.
