A couple, Lieles and Maria, was driving down the highway when they saw a puppy in their rearview mirror. She was alone and emaciated. The couple stopped their car to see if anyone had claimed the puppy, even her mama, but there wasn’t a soul in sight. They fed her some bread and put her in their car. They named the cute puppy Nala.

Leiles and Maria took her to the vet and got her medication for parasites. He confirmed the pup was only two months old! Amazingly, Nala went to the door the first night and barked to go outside to do her business. She potty trained herself! Leiles and Maria were floored!

They looked for a forever home for Nala, but after several days, the couple realized she belonged with them. And they haven’t looked back since! When the pup was four months old, something incredible happened! They found a tiny kitten sleeping beneath their car’s tire! And now Nala and the cat, they named Simba, are the best of friends!  The couple must be a magnet for finding furry love! True love knows no boundaries!
