Yep. I'm not even sure she realizes how much peace of mind she gave her neighbor by agreeing to take care of the dog. To know that your pet won't feel abandoned after your passing is such a gift.

How?

It's hard when pets are left behind, but this is the best outcome.

I was a caregiver to a sweet gentleman with Alzheimer’s and dementia. He loved the visits even more when I would bring my Minpin with me. After he passed, the family decided to use a picture of him and me and my little dog sitting in his lap for his obituary. He was happy and smiling and that’s the way I want to remember them both now. I said my last goodbye to her yesterday, and hope that she and Mr. Charles are together again, smiling. RiP Penny

My mom just passed away on Saturday. I have had her dog for the last year while my mother was ill. She is my dog now. It brought my mom comfort to know I would take care of her dog. My mom was on hospice since December. I was able to bring her dog 2 days before she passed away, while she was still aware. Not long after, she stopped responding. I love this story about Gaia. ❤

I don't recall the whole story but there was a person who got a dog for their mom when the mom got alzheimer's. The mom forgets the dog every time it comes over, but falls in love with the dog "for the first time". Obviously the dog is just happy to spend more time with the mom, every time it comes over.

What a calm, sweet dog.

David is one of my favorite reporters . Thank you Lisa for taking Gaia and making people happy with her hospital visits

In a world in which it feels sometimes like the helpers have had to go into hiding, Gaia's beautiful soul and that of her new Mom bring a renewed sense of hope, encouragement and the possibility of new beginnings in life. And courage to come out of hiding! Thank you so much for sharing their story, their new journey together.

Beautiful dog, lovely woman. What a great story!

God works in mysterious ways! Amen! God bless this woman and puppers!!!!

This story warms my heart. A great way to start a new day.

Really nice of her to take the pet for the elderly lady , great neighbor.

I love David's stories. They are always humanity or the animal kingdom at their best. Thank you.

Gaia is an angel on earth. They are both such beautiful souls. This is also a nice reminder to make sure you make plans for your animal companions should you expectantly or unexpectantly pass on.

There are soo many animals out there in over crowded shelters. I’m so glad this dog didn’t end up being a statistic. Too many seniors can’t find homes.

Love this story. Thank you for taking in Gaia and giving her such a good life. Sharing her with others is wonderful!Bless you all.

There’s a channel called The Mellor Family. They have a 3 year old child who is medically complex and physically challenged but has come a long way in his lifetime. A week or so ago they got a dachshund puppy and that puppy has immediately and completely bonded with Peter. It’s beautiful and heartwarming to see their connection. Thank you for this story about another amazing dog and especially that he is an older dog. So many times the old ones are the last to be adopted from a shelter but they still have lots of love, companionship and support to give someone who will do the same for them.

What a beautiful doggo and human being! 💕

Dogs are a gift to humanity. Anyone lucky enough to enjoy their companionship is blessed.

what a lucky dog and a simple act of kindness can change everything. Gaia is a sweet girl

This is a case when a Humane Human saw a FUR BLESSING in need and instead of doing nothing, she reached out and brought comfort to Gaia, Gaia's Human. and herself. If there were only more people like her on this planet this world could become the Haven it was meant to be.

There are so many facets to this story that make it extraordinary, no wonder so many people are touched by it but perhaps also for a myriad of reasons.💕🐾☮️

She is such a beautiful dog! Wonderful story.

I think what she might have wanted to say, but could not put her finger on it, is that the 2 of them put purpose back in each other's lives. That is why she wanted to cry, but did not know why. The 2 of them complements each other so well and brings joy to a lot of people going through a difficult time.

She's a beautiful beautiful dog. I'm so glad you brought her out of there. She's wonderful.

My cousin adopted 2 dogs that were a bonded pair that none of the family would keep or maybe they could keep them for whatever reason and they took them to the shelter. It is truly heartbreaking for the animals and so stressful for them to go to such a place after being in a loving home.

All of the positive work is not only helping humans but it should help Gaia lose a little weight. She is too beautiful of a dog to not be as healthy as possible.
