Often it seems that there are forces in the universe that match humans who need a companion with their perfect dog.
San Diego police officer Andre Thomas was called to investigate a stolen car last month. At the time he was still mourning the loss of Melakai, his beloved yellow Labrador.
Melakai had moved from Fresno to San Diego with Thomas when he was just 18 years old and they had been best friends for more than 10 years. They were so close that Thomas swore he would never get another dog when Melakai died.
The loss of a pet can be so heartbreaking that sometimes people don’t want to experience it again.
When Thomas looked through the window of the stolen car, he saw a frightened yellow Labrador staring back at him. Following protocol he took him to the local humane society where he was sure the owner would reclaim him.
After three weeks no one came forward.
That’s when Thomas decided to forget his no new dogs resolution. A frightened yellow Lab, the same breed as Melakai, needed a new human. It seemed like destiny was at work. He went back to the shelter to collect his new companion.
Thomas named the dog Victor and the two have been best friends ever since.
I believe his angel sent this dog to him

A dog can do that to you. For which I am grateful they can see what's best for both of us.
