A Sweet, Furry Surprise

A week into their new home, Sydney and her partner were alerted by their security camera to an unexpected visitor at the back of their house. Sydney initially thought it was a coyote and hurried outside to investigate. Her heart melted when she saw that it was, in fact, a skinny little puppy. She began talking to the timid pup, hoping to offer her some help.

Despite Sydney’s kind gestures, the frightened puppy was too scared to accept the assistance she desperately needed, and she darted away. Sydney anxiously awaited the puppy’s return, but as the night wore on without a sign of her, she felt a deep sense of sadness.

Hoping To Rescue The Frightened Pup

The next morning, the adorable fur baby felt drawn to Sydney’s home once more. Her return filled Sydney’s heart with joy. Determined to rescue the little stray, Sydney spent the entire day attempting to gain her trust. She left out food and prepared a crate in hopes of luring her in.

Though the puppy noticed Sydney’s efforts and felt more at ease, she wasn’t ready to be captured. She circled the house every 20 minutes but eventually ran off again. That night, Sydney heard a coyote howling in the distance, and she felt a surge of fear and worry for the little one.

Feeling The Warmth And Comfort Of A Home

The puppy’s situation grew more perilous when Sydney saw a coyote chasing her the next morning. Sydney managed to scare off the predator, knowing she had to rescue the pup quickly. That evening, the couple’s neighbors managed to capture the frightened canine and bring her to Sydney’s house.

Finally, the puppy spent the night in the warmth and safety of a home. She felt a profound sense of relief and comfort. Sydney and her partner were thrilled to have her and immediately took her to a rescue center to be scanned for a microchip.

A New Beginning

When the rescue staff found no microchip, it was clear the delightful pup had no owners. Sydney and her husband decided to give her a forever home and named her Dobby. They were concerned about how their Frenchie, Gary, would react to a new sibling, but their worries were soon alleviated.

To their delight, Dobby quickly won Gary’s heart, and the two 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 told The Dodo. The siblings now snuggle together all the time.
