Granger called the local vet, who arrived within the hour. As he examined the puppy, he confirmed it was healthy but likely abandoned. “This little guy’s lucky,” the vet said. “Most animals wouldn’t do what Dolly’s doing.”
When they checked Dolly, the story got deeper. The vet quietly explained that Dolly had lost her foal just a few weeks ago. Her behavior suddenly made sense. She had found the puppy somewhere on the property and taken it in as her own.
Her instincts had kicked in, and she brought the puppy to safety—on her back. The vet and Granger shared a moment of quiet understanding as they watched the unlikely bond grow right in front of them.
