Officer Marcus Montgomery had no idea that going on a routine call would leave him walking away with a new best friend.
He was visiting the Florida-based rescue Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), due to them receiving threats from a former employee. Montgomery said he spoke with the staff for about 20 minutes, before wrapping up his investigation:
“One of the supervisors left, and while I was still speaking to the director of PAWS, the supervisor came back in with this little puppy in her hands. You could tell he’d been sleeping because his eyes were heavy and he was yawning constantly,” Montgomery told BuzzFeed.
Montgomery then immediately asked to hold the puppy, and as he did, the employee told him how the pit bull, named Kylo came to PAWS. Apparently, someone had left Kylo outside the facility the night before when it was 37 degrees outside, and he sat alone, crying in a box. Hearing this broke Montgomery’s heart!
The supervisor then said to Montgomery,
“You know Vader needs a baby brother,” (Vader is Montgomery’s 4-year-old pit bull terrier), and this struck a cord with the officer. He posted on imgur: “She brings me this lil guy, chill, no whining, no barking, just chill.”
And that’s when Kylo curled up in Montgomery’s arms, and he fell in love.
Montgomery decided to get Kylo as a birthday gift for his girlfriend, and at the moment, Kylo would never feel lonely again.
Not only did he receive two loving humans as parents, but he received an awesome older brother named Vader.
