When Sydney received an alert on her phone, she initially thought there was a coyote prowling around her new home. However, upon checking her security camera, she discovered a malnourished puppy instead. This marked the beginning of an incredible journey of trust, love, and companionship. Sydney had just moved into her new home when she first spotted the scared little puppy on her security camera footage. She tried to approach the pup, but it was clear that the animal was frightened and hesitant to come near her. Despite not seeing the puppy for the rest of the night, Sydney remained hopeful that she would see her again.
The next morning, the puppy appeared on Sydney’s back camera, prompting her to spend the entire day outside, patiently trying to gain the animal’s trust. With a crate in hand, Sydney attempted to capture the pup, but it took several tries before she finally succeeded. Every 20 minutes, the puppy would circle the house, gradually growing more comfortable with Sydney’s presence.
Once the puppy finally spent the night with Sydney, it was evident that the two had formed a special bond. Sydney discovered that the pup was incredibly sweet and gentle, and after determining that the puppy didn’t belong to anyone else, she decided to adopt her. She named the sweet dog Dobby.
Sydney already had a six-year-old dog named Gary, who she considered her “child.” Naturally, she was concerned about how he would react to the new addition to the family. To her surprise, Gary and Dobby quickly became best friends, often cuddling and spending time together. With Sydney working from home, the trio spends most of their days hanging out on the couch, making the puppy feel like a natural part of the family.
Looking back on when they first brought Dobby into their home, Sydney and her family can’t help but marvel at the incredible transformation she has undergone. Once a scared, malnourished pup wandering the property, she now enjoys a cozy life by the fire and endless cuddles on the couch.
Sydney believes that the entire experience was meant to be. Having just moved into their newly-built home a week prior and installing security cameras, it seemed as if the puppy knew exactly which house to choose. With love, patience, and understanding, Sydney was able to provide a forever home for the once-struggling puppy, proving that sometimes, the best things in life are those that we least expect.
