It’s not easy to find a story that makes you cry. But perhaps I found it the most moving. The little dog did everything to give the man all the love he needed to be freed from his greatest fear.
Later, when the dog was in a difficult situation, the boy brought it back in the most beautiful way and immortalized it all in a letter that will stay in their hearts forever.
She decided to help him fall in love with a dog.
When Holly and Chris Brookhauser of Centerton, Arkansas, adopted a boy named Marcelo, he couldn’t keep the smiles off his face.
However, he has an unusual phobia, which they realize as soon as they arrive home. It was an extreme fear of dogs. He literally didn’t want to be in the same room with two dogs.
“When he got here, he was pretty terrified of the dogs. He screamed pretty loud the first day, and I was like oh man they warned us that that could happen,” Holly said in an interview for 5NEWS. “But Mini was relentless in her love.”
Mini was their little chihuahua who, at that time, was 11 years old. She adored small children and she tried to do everything to capture Marcelo’s heart.
Their Bond Became Unbreakable
While Marcelo was adjusting to life with his new family, Mini was by his side, constantly comforting him.
Little by little, she began to gain trust, and Holly and Chris began to believe that this story would eventually have a happy ending.
“He started getting a little more curious about her, but that first kiss that she gave him… it just won him over,” Holly said for The Dodo.
Thanks to the love and care of Mini Marcelo, he gradually began to understand that dogs are not so scary after all. He ended up falling completely in love with his four-legged friend. The two quickly became inseparable. They spent the whole day together. We watched cartoons together in the morning, played in the garden in the afternoon, and read bedtime stories together at night.
A boy who was even afraid of the word “dog” when he arrived at his new home in Centerton now finds his greatest happiness in the daily interactions with his best friend, the dog.
He wrote down all his love for her on paper.
Time passed slowly, but the deep connection between Marcelo and Mini did not fade, but grow stronger.
Unfortunately, Mini’s health was slowly weakening, considering that she was already in advanced years.
Before her 16th birthday, Mini, along with all her health problems such as dementia and hearing loss, soon became blind.
Marcelo, who was now a big boy, returned all his love to Mini, who was going through the most difficult period in her life. What else could he do, remembering how she helped him overcome his greatest fear?
That’s why, as a sign of gratitude for being the most beautiful star in his life all that time, he wrote her a letter.
“Dear Mini, when I first got here, I was scared of you, but you loved me anyway. I like to watch TV with you when you bring me to school. I like to ride the Jeep with you. I like to swing with you. Thank you for staying with me when I was sick. I love you so much! You are my best friend! I am sad that you can not see anymore, but I’ll help you and guide you, and I am gonna carry you so you will stay safe!”
I don’t know about you, but one pack of tissues wasn’t enough for us! Love won once again and showed that it can bring light even to the darkest of places.
