On a rainy day, a young lady was cruising down the highway with her favorite song playing on the car stereo. As she rounded a curve, a sudden movement on the side of the road caught her eye. Her heart leaped as a scruffy, unsteady puppy stepped dangerously close to the speeding cars. Without hesitation, the girl slammed the brakes and swerved to the curb, her pulse racing. She bolted out of the car and approached the small dog, who stood frozen with fear as vehicles roared past.
Her fur was filthy and tangled, and though she looked rough, it was clear she was still just a young, beautiful pup ready to show her true colors. Instinctively, the girl knelt down, speaking in a gentle voice, “Hey, it’s okay. I’m here to help you.” But the little dog, overwhelmed by fear, backed away, her tail tucked tightly beneath her.
As the girl extended her hand to comfort the dog, panic overtook the pup. The dog felt pure terror, knowing nothing but hardship. The girl slowly scooped the puppy into her arms, holding her trembling body close.
The girl, Kemah, hurried back to her car, whispering soothing words to the frightened dog. She named the pup Remi and took the tiny puppy back to her house. The following day, the girl brought Remi to the vet with a groomer next door. Remi got a bath and her nails trimmed. She looked like a totally different dog!
The pup also got a clean bill of health. Now, it was time to introduce her to the rest of Kemah’s family. They quickly fell in love with the sweet dog, and Remi fell in love with them! She basked in affection and playtime, happily extending her paw to say hello to her newfound friends. She also learned how to walk on a leash, but she wasn’t a fan. Soon, she would get used to it, and Kemah and Remi could go on adventures together.
The once dirty stray puppy has transformed into a beloved family member. Kemah can’t imagine life without her, and Remi wouldn’t trade her good fortune for anything. The puppy has received love and care from everyone she meets. Who knows what would have happened to her if a kind person like Kemah had never come along?
Merida is a senior who was found abandoned in a backyard with her sibling who had passed away. She was left to fend for herself as an 11-year-old with diabetes. Thankfully, Kanoa Rescue Foundation stepped in to save her, but she still needs your help!
We are so grateful Kemah drove down the road at the exact time she was needed. Remi is now safe and loved thanks to fate and compassionate people.
