When This Woman Fed A Hungry Shelter Dog Some Bacon, She Didn’t Expect He Would Escape And Find Her
Meet Ted, the rescue doggie who escaped animal shelter and tracked down a staff member who had given him some food, deciding his own fate by showing up at his soon-to-be best friends home. In January, Abbey Boyd was doing a shift at the local SPCA, where this cute doggie had been surrendered the day before. She was the only person whom Ted allowed close after she fed him some cheese-flavored bacon. Before that, the stray dog would refuse to go for a walk, interact with others, and was very timid and quiet in his own corner.
Boyd also tried to get a bigger kennel for him. However, other than that, she explains, “I had next to no contact with Ted during my shift at the dog rescue. I left and went home.” The next morning the woman woke up around 3 A.M. and started to get ready for her job at the airport. When she came back home, there was a dog right next to her house.
“I realized that it had to be Ted,” she said. Boyd took it as a sign not to be ignored and started sorting out the adoption papers for this amazingly smart dog immediately. “He showed up at my house, out of how many people [that] live here? All the dogs. All the smells. He chose my house. Where I am.”

I wish Abbey all the best! Honey you'll not find a better companion, friend or protecter than a German Shepherd, they will love you and be faithful to you till the day they die. All the best to you and Ted!!!
To be chosen by an animal is the highest compliment. I feel happy for both of them!
Feed me bacon and I might follow someone home too? Seriously, what a great looking dog. Hard to imagine someone having to give him up. I suspect he is going to be quite protective too so I wouldn't try to mess with that young lady. Cheers for doing the right thing!
Animals have a way of 'claiming ' their owners. They instinctively know who is a kindred spirit and who is not.
What a gorgeous boy,I'm so happy this kind lady gave him a warm and loving forever home like he deserves.
Beautiful dog. He looks pretty young so I'm sure he'll be trained well. Sometimes when things like happen it makes me believe in reincarnation. What or who were these beings in another life and what were they to each other.
OMIGOD this is an amazing!! Ted must have an amazing nose to walk that whole way, sniffing out Abbey.
Oh my gosh. He looks a lot like my baby MJ! Such an intelligent dog. She's kind to take him in, I wish her all the best!
