Bravo to the Lawler couple in Indiana for making a Doggie Dream come true! Ben and Jade (two German Shepherd dog mixes) were both abandoned stray dogs that wandered together in the community. However, when they had a litter of puppies, they were brought to the Terre Haute Humane Society in Indiana. They were kept in the same cage and were quite bonded. People often don't realize the incredible bonds dogs and animals form with one another. Their love was put to the test when after several weeks, Ben, but not Jade, was adopted by the Lawler family.
After 3 weeks of living with the Lawlers, Ben escaped. He trekked 10 miles in freezing cold weather to see his love. He found his way back to the shelter in a day and went up to her cage and kissed her through the fencing. He knew the shelter staff would try to capture him so he evaded them for quite awhile. Once Ben was captured, the two happy dogs were reunited and tails were wagging.
The Lawlers saw the unbelievable devotion between the two dogs and realized they had to adopt both Jade and Ben. Now, the two lovebirds are inseparable. They go on walks, eat and sleep together. They are living out a wonderful fairytale because of the kindness of this family and the community who saved them. Rescue dogs like Ben and Jade are euthanized daily throughout the world and this is one story of true puppy love!
