We all would love to bring home a puppy but often it is not as easy as it sounds. With a new furry family member comes responsibility. Too much for this seasoned officer and his family?
Dee Thompson, the shelter’s executive director, told The Huffington Post that when Montgomery saw the puppy, the officer wanted to hold the little guy. When Kylo looked at the officer, Montgomery just melted.
“I thought that grown man was going to turn into a puddle,” Thompson said. “He said, ‘I can’t! I can’t!’”
The officer ended up bringing Kylo home after speaking with his girlfriend, Thompson said. The puppy is the perfect addition to Montgomery’s family — especially since he’s adopted another dog in the past, a pit bull terrier named Vader.
The two Sith dogs are getting along just fine.“Vader has been getting used to Kylo being around and realizing that he has a younger sibling to look after,” Montgomery said. “Kylo follows him everywhere and is constantly wanting to play, and he obliges each time. So they are getting along perfectly.”
It started out as a foster situation but as soon as the pup had his immunizations and got a clean bill of health the adoption was underway!
The officer, through The Huffington Post, also said he sincerely hopes this will encourage others to adopt from shelters. There are puppies and dogs out there who want nothing more than to find a happy home.
