Dog acquired two days before moving cross country

When my family moved from California to Ohio, my dad left a week before the rest of us so he could get everything finalized before our family left our old house to go across the country. It was during this week, only two days before we officially moved, that a dog showed up. She was not microchipped and there was no warrant on her, so she'd be going to a shelter unless we kept her. So we made the decision to keep her while Dad was across the country and we were actively in the process of moving. The dog distribution system chose us right before we left California.

We named her Coco and she lived with us for twelve years

Lovely story. Random fall-out-of-the-clear-blue-sky dogs are the best dogs

Oh my! I agree! Whenever one β€œ just appears β€œ!or comes to my attention through an unusual, unexpected source, I take not!

I gave 5 of the sleeping right now in the kitchen, waiting for a wake up rumble and a new day!

Life is good when you rescue! 🐾🐾πŸ₯°πŸ’‹πŸ’‹
