Time to go home

Their over 1,600 miles journey back home commenced, with the clueless rescued pup sleeping soundly throughout the flight. Upon their arrival in Illinois, Annie ensured that her new furry companion had a comfortable space in her home.

She named the pup Midge and Annie introduced her to her parents, who welcomed the adorable addition to the family with open arms.

Midge’s arrival also introduced her to her canine siblings, Millie and Artie. Initially, Millie, the older sister, showed great curiosity and would gently nudge Midge with her snout. Before long, the two formed an unbreakable bond, becoming the best of friends who shared countless adventures.

The love for Midge extended beyond Annie and her immediate family. Even Annie’s parents couldn’t resist falling for the charming pup, a humorous twist as Annie would jokingly remark that her mother loved their dogs more than their own family.

As time passed, Midge blossomed into a loving and positive presence in their lives. The fateful day when Annie encountered the pup on the beach became a cherished memory she would never forget.

Annie expressed immense gratitude for finding Midge and for taking the necessary steps to bring her home, culminating in a heartwarming and happy ending for all involved.
