A heartwarming story about two pups from Castaway Critters.
I originally went to
Castaway Critters to adopt two female puppies: one large and one small.
As I walked around looking for just the right pair, two pups about three or
four months old caught my eye. Both were a beautiful reddish brown with
a little black and one had a pointed face and the other had a square face.
Each would his brother’s movements exactly. They stayed as close to one
another as possible.
It was hard to
tell how big they would be: one had large paws for his age and size. I
sent a couple of pictures to my husband’s phone and went home, not finding
the lap dog and the guard dog I was looking for. That evening my
husband, my granddaughter and I looked at the pictures and discussed this
inseparable pair. It was unanimous; we had to have these two
BROTHERS. We could not choose between them and they were too attached
to separate.
The
next day we went and picked them up. That was September 9, 2009.
Zakary and Xavier were now part of our family and neither the dogs nor us could
be happier. We knew we did the right thing not separating them when earlier
this year Zakary had to have surgery on his stomach. Xavier cried for
an hour and a half, standing by the door in which his brother had gone and
that night there was no sleeping in their crate: he had to sleep right in
between my husband and myself. Xavier was one happy dog the next day
when Zakary came home and he stayed right by his side without laying
partially on top of him as they usually do; he knew his brother was hurting. These two boys are the most compassionate creatures I have ever seen, and my family and I could not imagine spending our days without them; they have wedged their way into our hearts and our family and have brought us all closer than we had been for a long time.
