“ Drake made quick friends with most dogs he met, but when he met Georgia, it was clear there was a special bond “, explain Caity Lothamer of KC Pet Project to the writing of The Dodo. The 2 furballs met at the shelter and never left each other's side.
“ If Georgia was in another enclosure, Drake would cry in front of the gates until the staff brought them together, adds the spokesperson for the establishment, even when grouped with other dogs, they mostly played with each other. »
Drake ran away during a walk
As our colleagues across the Atlantic reveal, Drake badly needed a close friend since his brother left. The latter, also a resident of the refuge KC Pet Projecthad been adopted. The organization's staff therefore allowed Drake And Georgia to spend as much time together as possible.
But one day, a walk with a volunteer didn't go as planned. When walking, the leash Drake broke. The dog, stressed, ran away and disappeared into a large pasture. Despite all his efforts, his companion was unable to bring back the fearful doggie, who “ fled as soon as someone approached “.
“ After trying several strategies and discussing options with Corrie, our foster care coordinator, the idea came up more than once: bring Georgia », confides Caity.
“ When Drake saw her, everything changed, continues Caity, he immediately stopped running, turned around and ran straight towards her, squirming and trying to lick her head. » This is how the 2 good friends were reunited and returned to the safety of the shelter. “ Throughout the night, Georgia kept checking on him, going down to lie down next to him before returning to her basket. “, underlines Caity.
