According to The Dodo, Brian rescued Sadie from the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge after she was surrendered by her previous owners. The rescue struggled to find her a forever home because she was nervous, but she really clicked with Brian.
Speaking with The Dodo, Heather Centrella with the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge said: “[She was] a little standoffish when she first came and she wasn’t sure what was going on. She became a little bit shut-down in the shelter, so we knew she was going to need an experienced home with someone who was patient.”
That home ended up being with Brain, despite Sadie’s bio claiming she wasn’t great with men. Brian rescued Sadie and gave her a second chance at life, not knowing she would do the same for him in the coming months.
According to The Washington Post, Myers explained, “[Sadie] kept licking me and crying, so I reached my right hand up to pet her, then I grabbed her collar.”
Eventually, Sadie and Brian were able to reunite and it was such a sweet moment! You can see the reunion for yourself in the video below:
