Sometimes, coincidence can be so uncanny that it feels eerie. A Dallas, Texas owner discovered a poster on a shelter dog’s kennel door, noticing she strikingly resembled their dog, Buddy, whom they adopted years ago. This peculiar situation piqued their curiosity and initiated an investigation. Little did they realize the dog held a surprising secret that would forever alter their lives!
Shocking Reunion After Many Years
Seeing Candy in her small kennel at Dallas Animal Services was heart-wrenching. After five loving years, she had been surrendered to the shelter by her owners. Within days, she transitioned from being adored to being overlooked. Candy, a black adult pup, didn’t attract attention until Buddy’s owner took notice of her poster and felt compelled to act.
To add to the intrigue, Candy bore a striking resemblance to Buddy. They were similar in age and shared the same “Shar Pei mix” appearance. This resemblance led the owner to dig deeper, and after some research, a stunning revelation emerged: Candy wasn’t just similar to Buddy, she was actually his sibling! Both dogs had been taken in on the same intake date as puppies, but parted ways over five years ago when Candy was adopted by another family.
“They are from the same litter. Both dogs have same original intake date when they were puppies. I adopted Buddy when he was a puppy and Candy got adopted by another family and they surrendered her when she was 5. And then I rescued her,” the owner stated on Reddit.
This incredible reunion quickly captured the internet’s attention when the owner shared Candy and Buddy’s story on Reddit, leading to an influx of supportive comments. “Awww. They look like they’ve been together their entire lives. Absolutely love this,” one user exclaimed, while another added, “Look at their muzzles and floppy jaws, oh gosh I love them, what sweet babies. Glad they are together again.” After years apart, the two long-lost sisters reunited and bonded as if no time had passed!
Living The Best Life Today
Despite her challenging past, Candy is now thriving in her forever home, surrounded by love from her family and Buddy. Initially, she exhibited signs of fear during her first weeks, but those days are behind her. “When we first rescued her, you could see the fear in her eyes. She trusted no one. Now, she’s the happiest and best dog. They are best friends,” stated the owner.
One thing is certain: Candy and Buddy have many exciting adventures ahead. While they cherish their cozy home and snuggle up next to their owner, these sisters undoubtedly have countless paths to explore together on their life journey, and now they have a loving person to support them through it all!
