Sometimes pets enter our lives in the most unexpected ways and at the most unexpected times. This is the case of a couple who found a dog while on vacation – and the pup was eager to make them his new family.
According to SWNS, Martina Russo, from Milan, Italy, and her partner Fil were driving through the Spanish countryside when they noticed a local following them.
It was a small puppy, who seemed very eager to catch up with them: “We thought it was just a game,” Martina told SWNS, “but we soon realized something was up, because she was running fast and didn’t want to stop. »
Sensing the dog really needed help, they stopped the car to give her some water – and the little one quickly bonded.
“We… took her to the nearest village to ask if anyone had lost her, but no one had ever seen her before,” they wrote on Instagram. “We are in the middle of nowhere, no houses or other human life anywhere.”
“On the way back, we returned her to where we found her, thinking she might know how to get home, but she was still following us to our van. »
The dog kept following their car, and the couple realized she may have been abandoned in the countryside.
“We took her to the vet the next day, and it turns out she was not microchipped, she was not spayed, she was a female about a year old, that his fur was very full and it was full of dirt around his eyes,” Martina told SWNS.
They kept looking for his owner, searched the area and posted on social media, no one came forward.
After a few weeks, they concluded that the dog had no family – and decided to adopt her!
Now called Moxie, she has become a much-loved member of Martina and Fil’s family. “She is very sweet and funny, very playful, she loves our cats – to be fair, she loves everything and everyone! said Martina. “We love taking her on adventures, and she makes us laugh every day.”
“Every day is a new adventure for Moxie now.”
It’s incredible. Moxie definitely picked the right car to chase – like she knew they would be perfect for giving her a new home. It proves that everything happens for a reason.
