Woman Adopts A Senior Dog Because She Looked Like Her Childhood Puppy, Realizes It’s The Same Dog
Losing a best friend is rough. And it doesn’t matter if your best friend is a human or a four-legged ball of fluff, it can hurt the same. Anyone who has ever experienced this sort of heartbreak would give anything to get their buddy back, but not everyone is so lucky. Well, except for this lucky woman named Nicole Grimes who lives in Pennsylvania. She shared her story of losing her beloved canine best friend and eventually getting her back. Her heartwarming story made quite a few people believe that happy endings don’t only happen in movies.When Nicole was just a little girl, she really wanted a puppy. Finally, when she was 10, her grandmother surprised her with a pomeranian-poodle crossbreed. Nicole immediately fell in love with her new buddy and named her Chloe.

For a child that young, it probably seemed that no force in life could separate her from her friend. However, something she had not anticipated happened. “My dad got a job where we couldn’t have a dog so I had to give her up. It was so hard, ” she wrote in her post. After spending just 4 years together, the puppy was given away to the Washington Humane Society and the rest could have been history – up until a magical moment 7 years later.
When Nicole was all grown up and started a family of her own, she accidentally noticed a post of an elderly dog named Chloe needing a new home. Something in her heart told her the seemingly impossible thing – it could be Chloe. While Nicole didn’t believe this thought at first, she still decided to adopt the dog without thinking.
Only after spending some time with the dog, she started to believe her initial feeling and after connecting some dots, it turned out that Chloe is the very same dog from her childhood and thus, the friends have been reunited! Read her story bellow.

Yes, it's a moving story but f**k her parents for giving up her dog when they moved. It's absolute BS to drop a dog off to the shelter b/c it's suddenly not convenient for you. Pets are forever, not until you move.
I understood that they didn't allow dogs where they were moving.
Load More Replies...I feel anger when someone leaves their dog in a shelter because of stupid reasons. Can't you try? Can you not change your job? Can't you give it to a friend and then take back? Whatever, don't abandon it! Dogs suffer so much when abandoned!
A man (or woman) who has a family to support sometimes doesn’t have the luxury of choosing a different job. This family made sure the dog was alright and from the story - the dog found another happy home. They didn’t abandon their dog, they gave the dog another chance when they were no longer able to provide for it.

Load More Replies...This is a wonderful story but I wholeheartedly reject to acknowledge that there is a world where you have to give up your dog because of new apartment rules. Like there was just this one apt in the whole town/city/wherever her parents could choose from...
"got a job where we could not have a dog" find another house buddy, dogs aren't disposable and that dog deserved to have a home with that child/woman.
amazing. So happy for the dog he can now spend the last years with his best friend.
I wouldn't have taken the job. I know it was her parents and kids don't have a choice, but I would never have spoken to my parents again. Plus the parents left it at a shelter, don't tell me you couldn't search yourself to find a good home for him. What I don't get is that just because you get a new job doesn't mean you can't keep your dog, keeping a dog is based on where you live, so find a different apartment complex, or rent a different house. There are plenty of place I can't live because of my dog, but there are not entire towns that don't allow them. Just find someplace else in town to live. Damn.
Happy endings, it doesn't get much better, thanks for sharing !!!
I'm so happy for you and your beautiful dog. Thrilled you were reunited.
That 7 years in shelter must have been fun for the dog. Didn't know pets are just things that you can give up
Zebwe it mentioned the fb friend she got the dog from and an elderly couple the fb friend had gotten the dog from. Reading comprehension much?

I agree, try not to judge this family. There are "people" who do not bring the pet to a shelter, they leave in a forest, tied to a tree, or throw it out of the car on a busy highway. What about those pet owners who let their dogs to freeze to death in the winter, or do not provide a shelter, food, even water? These are horrific abuses people should get upset about.

This so sweet and adorable. So glad she was reunited with her furry little friend. Chloe is adorable!
Wow didn't expect to get teary eyes reading this, yet here I am.
a veces, cuando dejas ir lo que amas, si en verdad lo amas, puede regresar a ti...
My Dad to a job in Papua New Guinea as a kid and we had a choice: either quarantine the dog for a total of a year (6 months moving there and 6 months when we returned in a few years) or rehome the dog. As painful as it was they decided that quarantine for what would likely be over 5% of her life wasn't fair. She lived a happy life with my Aunt and Uncle.
Sweet story however, you don't kick out a family member. Dog could not come, really? Shame on those parents.
Sorry, there is NO reason the parent's couldn't find a place to live with the new job where they could keep the dog. They just couldn't be bothered to take the time. S****Y parenting folks.
I love how they just breezed through the fact that they dumped a dog off at the Humane Society because her dad got a job where he couldn't have a dog. F**k does that mean? Her dad isn't bringing the dog to work. It's a b******t excuse for people who don't want to take a dog with them when they move.
Her parents need to have a look at themselves .Who just gets rid of their dog ? If they had given a $%^&* they would have called the Humane society to make sure she had found a home and hadn't been PTS like the thousands of dogs in shelters across the world do every day .Happy for the girl as it was not in her control and the dog ,the parents are #$%^&!!!
I've got two cats that aren't mine due to circumstances that two people have to deal with. One won't let me get bear her because if being traumatized as a kitten by 3 or 4 little ankle biters. The other is a lover that had been abandoned, was hairless when my friend took her in and took me two weeks to let me touch her. I refuse to take them to a shelter anymore than these two people. As a kid in this story, that had to be heartbreaking and parents had to choose. I would have done whatever possible to ease the move to a new place and keep her pal and sense of a place in the world. But jobs and possible charges rent wise etc are a hard call.
Did I just feel bored reading this heart touching story??? First time I ever thought I could feel a thing for an animal let alone a dog. I am emotional by the way
Pretty sure I'd never talk to my dad again for forcing me to give up my pet. What a s****y dad.
She believes in God. You don't. Why hardcore atheists get so triggered is beyond me. I bet not-God dominates your life more than God dominates hers. Anti-religion IS your religion. By the way, saying something doesn't exist because there isn't proof it exists is just as stupid as saying something for sure exists because the bible says so. It's the same argument but from opposite sides. You sound a lot like a fundamentalist.
