I was on the way to my then-boyfriend’s place to go out on the boat for the day. What I didn’t realize is how that day would forever change my life.

I had to drive 30 to 40 minutes to get there, and it takes mainly back country roads. As I was driving, I came around a bend. Looking ahead, I saw a gray car sitting with the door ajar facing my way.

I slowed down to see if everyone was okay, and a man came running out and jumped into it and drove off. I looked for a license plate, but he was too fast. As I approached the area he came from, I slowed way down, only to spot a beautiful puppy come waddling out of the woods.

Where he had dumped her, she would have either been eaten by coyotes or run over. I jumped out and grabbed her.

She was a little hesitant and a little shy around men, but I don’t know what she went through in that short amount of time in her life.

That day in July, she became my best friend. I ended the wrong relationship and stayed busy taking care of my pup. What I didn’t know what that she was and is my gift from God. I rescued her, but she also rescued me.

I honestly didn’t plan to keep her at first, but she and I needed each other, and I couldn’t let her go after a few weeks of looking for another home for her. She is now spoiled as ever and has given me more laughs that I could count, not to mention that she is so very loyal.
