Talk about a big surprise. In 2024, Kayla Sargeant shared the story of her first encounter with her new pet.
Speaking to The Dodo, she explains that this first meeting happened completely by chance. While she was busy cleaning her house, she decided to open a door to air out her home.
"He came back"
Suddenly, she found herself face to face with an unknown dog that had wandered into her lounge. At first, this animal described as "dirty" only stayed for a few minutes.
"We assumed it must be a neighbour's dog, but before we even realised it, he came back", explained Kayla Sargeant.
It turned out the pooch was microchipped but his owner could no longer care for him. Called Fatty, the dog decided to make himself at home at Kayla's.
A new beginning for Fatty
Unable to let him roam the streets, Kayla decided to keep him: "He's doing really well now. He's clean, loved, happy and well-fed. We'll take care of him for as long as necessary".
