Matt Bentley was driving in the Great Salt Lake Desert in Utah when he saw something running down a trail. He thought it was something else because the animal had no fur, but it turned out to be a dog. He stopped to rescue the dog and took her to the Utah Animal Adoption Center. They took her in and promised Matt that they would do their best to rehabilitate her.
Jaime Jacques and her daughter Whitney were regular volunteers at the center. They had heard about a newly rescued dog that the shelter workers had named Kelly and wanted to see her. When they saw her for the first time, they thought she looked like an armadillo because she had lost all of her hair. It was amazing to see that Kelly liked meeting new people.
Jaime regularly visited Kelly at the center. Kelly was always glad to see her. In time, they had formed a bond. When Kelly had completely healed three months later, Jaime officially adopted her.
Once they arrived at Jaime’s residence, Kelly felt at home. She got to meet her fur brother named Rocky who was an 80-pound Goldendoodle. Rocky was excited to have a sister and they had been best friends since then.
Jaime was so grateful to Matt for stopping and rescuing Kelly. She wanted to personally thank Matt for saving Kelly’s life. After 15 months since Kelly’s rescue, she made arrangements for Matt and Kelly to meet again.
Jaime was not sure if Kelly remembered Matt because it has been more than a year since they last saw each other. However, as soon as she saw Matt, she went running up to him and snuggled close for pets and hugs. Matt was so surprised at how different Kelly looked. She was so unlike the dog that he picked up in the middle of the road.
It was an emotional reunion. Jaime expressed her gratitude to Matt for rescuing Kelly. If it were not for him, Kelly would never have made it on her own for long. Matt was so glad that Kelly had found a family who was truly caring and that she’s happy with them.
