Why Did You Adopt your Dog?

Sonny Heflin with his dog Jade

This is a great story of a student named Sonny Heflin from Florida who recently adopted his dogs from a rescue group. His main reason for adoption really touched me:

“... My girlfriend and her dog were connected not only by the bond that an owner shares with his/her animal, but also by a bond that would weave their souls together forever. This is a bond that I think only a rescue animal and his/her adoptee could share. My girlfriend adopted a dog that was looked over by thousands of potential owners. The look in their eyes when they greet each other after a long day at school was what I was after.”
