Shelter dogs have a way of making people feel as if they were meant to go to their new homes. After adopting a rescue, one couple discovered an amazing coincidence that proved the rescue had been meant to be.
One of Trenton Animals Rock’s adoptable dogs caught the attention of Alyssa DeLuca and her boyfriend Zachary Chin on Facebook on December 15, 2021.
In spite of the fact that Alyssa and Zack had no plans to adopt another dog, they felt that it was the right thing to do to give the dog a loving home because his owners could not care for him due to their work schedules.
“After reading the description, Zack looked at me and said something along the lines of, ‘Well, you know what we have to do now — we have to save him,’” Alyssa told The Dodo.
The Dodo reported that It’s a good thing they got Wes out of his kennel as quickly as possible because he was “terrified” in the shelter.
They brought Wes home, and he began to bond with his lookalike, Arthur.
“Wes and Arthur were unsure of each other at first, but became inseparable after a few months,” Alyssa wrote on Facebook. “They sleep together, they walk together, they do everything together.”
The two people looked so alike, but their personalities were quite different, but they complemented one another well and became best friends.
“We would always say that they were the ‘same dog in a different font’ because of how similar they looked, and even though they had a lot of differences, their mannerisms were also very similar,” she told The Dodo.
What a coincidence! A DNA test kit was purchased last year by the couple from Embark Vet. Arthur needed it for health reasons, while Wes needed it to determine what breed of dog he was.
A shocking discovery was made after they received the test results: Wes and Arthur are actually brothers!
Despite how much people thought they had in common, Arthur and Wes actually had much more in common than they had assumed.
It took them a while to realize that they had accidentally reunited two long-lost siblings by rescuing Wes from the shelter.
“It feels great knowing that not only did we rescue Wes and give him the life that he’s always deserved, but that he was also united with his brother, who he’s become so close with and gets to live a peaceful life with his best friend/brother by his side,” Alyssa told The Dodo.
“Thank you to Trenton Animals Rock for all of the work that you do and for introducing us to the sweetest and most misunderstood dog, and thank you to Embark for helping us realize the biggest coincidence of our dogs actually being brothers,” she wrote on Facebook.
