A man had finally settled into his new town, but something still felt missing from his life. He thought getting a companion in the form of a shelter dog might help. So he did just that. He went to…
I remember bringing my first dog home from the animal shelter. My heart was bursting with joy and nervousness. Getting a dog can be the best feeling the world. But you never expect you might end up with a story like this. A man adopted Reggie, a Labrador puppy, and things were difficult at first.
The man had recently moved to a new city and was trying to figure out his new surroundings. Reggie was trying to adjust to his new surroundings too. The shelter had a two-week return period in case Reggie and the man were not a good fit. By the end of the two weeks, the man was about to bring Reggie back to the shelter. That’s when he found a box containing Reggie’s stuff, along with a very important letter from his last owner.
Read the letter below.
In the end, Reggie’s previous owner, Paul Mallory, was a soldier who had been killed in action while saving his three friends. The letter made the man see his new dog in a whole new way.
Be sure to SHARE this with your friends and family!
What a beautiful story you now have a friend for life 😊
Sad story but a great ending n so sorry for ur loss TANK! But u got 3 balls in ur mouth!
Happy to see you are going to be safe n loved!
I am so happy that you are Tank’s new owner. The dogs I’ve had in my life have given me more love and wonderful memories that I cherish as I am elderly and can’t manage a dog now.
Every night I look at the dog pictures that have come through the day and can go to bed with good feelings. Dogs are “angels from Heaven” sent to give man happiness.
Tank obviously misses his last owner. I know you will love him and give him a good life.
Thank you for loving him. Your story was beautiful.

Stories like this always bring tears as I think back on the doggy friends I have had over the years. My first child was a golde retriever!
