She attended a yoga class organised in collaboration with the One Tail At A Time rescue centre in the USA. The young woman had no plans to adopt a dog, but this time, her yoga class took an unexpected turn.
Love at first sight
While she was enjoying her class on her mat at 360 Chicago, a puppy chose Maddy and wouldn't leave her side. Throughout the entire session, two-month-old Ernesto stayed close to her mat. He took advantage of the floor-based poses to get some cuddles. And when Maddy was standing, he simply settled at her feet, asking for a fuss!
Maddy instantly fell in love with the little pup. She knew she couldn't leave him behind. So, as soon as the class was over, she went to ask one of the charity's volunteers about Ernesto.
A new beginning
The poor little pup had been found abandoned on the side of a road in Arkansas. He had been left with his mother and littermates. Fortunately, the rest of the family had since been adopted. As for Ernesto, he still needed one more vaccination before he could be permanently rehomed.
Maddy filled out an online form and waited patiently. 15 days later, she received the good news: she could officially adopt Ernesto! As the rescue centre put it in the video below: ”He chose her first. She chose him forever!” What a wonderful adoption story!
