Friendship is very important. They make life so much better and worth living. The same sentiment applies to animals.
Dogs are known for their amazing ability to make friends with almost anyone, not just humans. This is what makes them great companions.
This story tells about a stray dog who didn’t want to leave until his injured friend was rescued with him.
Terrible accident
When his friend told Florida rescue worker Betty Walter that he had come across a dog that had been hit by a car, he told her who to call.
Her friend thought they would talk to her first because she had experience with adoptions and foster care. She couldn’t take the dog in anymore, but this whole situation was frustrating her.
She felt so bad for the puppy that had been hit by a car that after she finished her work, she went to see if anyone had helped him. When she arrived, she found that the dog was still there and another dog was guarding it.
The dogs, who were now named Betty White, and Allen, were not on the road, but instead, they found a grassy area where they rested and waited for someone to come help them.
Betty was the one who was hit, and Allen didn’t want to leave her side and wanted to be with her until help arrived.
Walter told The Dodo: When I pulled up, there were a couple of dogs in the distance and he chased them off.
When I got out of my car to look at her, he ran toward me … I had to assure him I was there to help.
Betty And Allen’s Amazing Bond
She spooked Allen, who didn’t know that she was there to help, so he was very uneasy. She got him to relax after a while, but she needed help getting them in the car.
So, she called her friend who texted her and she came to help her. They were able to get Betty in the vehicle, but Allen wanted to be with her, so they helped him in as well.
Their bond was something truly special, and seeing such loyalty from dogs is really heartwarming.
At the vet, they established that her pelvis was broken, but it was nothing that surgery couldn’t fix. After that, they took her to a foster home where she can take time to heal.
Naturally, Allen was with her every step of the way. It was clear to their fosters that these dogs just really liked each other and loved being together.
Even though Allen was ready for adoption, her foster mother did not want to put him on the list just yet because she wanted the two of them to be adopted together.
Walter said: They really love attention. They need someone who is going to give them lots of kisses and hugs. To keep them safe and make them feel safe.
Allen loves toys, so someone to throw the ball and play chase with. Betty wants a bed to lay and stay by your feet.
While she tried really hard to adopt them together, it just wasn’t meant to be, so Betty and Allen were adopted separately.
Even though they live in different households in Florida, they are still pretty close to each other and the owners make sure that they still have their playtime from time to time.
