A Surprise Visitor
A week after Sydney and her partner moved into their new home, their security camera alerted them to an unexpected visitor in their backyard. Initially mistaking the figure for a coyote, Sydney rushed outside and discovered a skinny little puppy.
Sydney’s heart melted at the sight, and she immediately tried to help. But the frightened pup, unaccustomed to kindness, ran off.
Determined to rescue the stray, Sydney hoped she would return. When Dobby didn’t come back that night, Sydney felt an ache in her heart, fearing for the little dog’s safety.
Gaining Trust
To Sydney’s delight, Dobby returned the next morning. Overjoyed, Sydney spent the entire day trying to gain the pup’s trust. She left food and prepared a cozy crate, but Dobby remained cautious, circling the house at intervals.
That night, Sydney heard coyotes howling in the distance, filling her with worry for Dobby. The next morning, her fears were confirmed—she spotted a coyote chasing the puppy. Acting quickly, she scared the predator away, knowing it was time to rescue Dobby before it was too late.
With the help of their neighbors, Sydney and her partner were finally able to capture Dobby and bring her inside.
Finding Love and Safety
Dobby spent her first night in warmth and comfort, finally feeling safe after her time as a stray. The couple brought her to a rescue center, where staff confirmed she had no microchip and no owner.
It was then that Sydney and her partner made a life-changing decision: they would adopt Dobby and give her the loving home she deserved. They named her Dobby, and she quickly settled into her new life, enchanting her new family with her sweet personality.
A Family Complete
Dobby’s only challenge was winning over Gary, the couple’s French Bulldog. To everyone’s surprise, the two dogs became inseparable.
“I was shocked at how much they have become best friends and how much they really love hanging out with each other,” Sydney shared with The Dodo.
Dobby is now a cherished member of the family. She spends her days cuddling on the couch, playing with Gary, and enjoying the view from her new home’s window—a far cry from her days as a hungry and frightened stray.
“She is just part of the family now, and it feels super normal. Feels like she’s been here forever,” Sydney said.
Dobby’s story is a reminder that sometimes, the perfect family is just a courageous leap away. Her journey from stray to beloved family member is a testament to the power of love and second chances.
