Sometime fate brings together people who desperately need each other, even if they might not know it themselves. Well, this time fate has brought together two dogs who needed each other, and a friendship quickly formed that is both beautiful and healing. Two dogs were picked up weeks apart and arrived at two separate shelters.
Both of the shelters, however, were in South Carolina. Simon is a one year old border collie who suffered at the hands of his previous owner. Sammie is a 4 month old puppy who’s been dragged by a car, spray-painted, and, horrifyingly, even shot.

The two of these puppies came together at a veterinary clinic. Simon went right up to Sammie’s operating table and rested his paw there. Sammie took in a lot of comfort from that simple act before he had to go in for a plethora of medical procedures that would hopefully manage to save his life.

These dogs understood what each other were going through. Jack O’Sullivan, a co-founder ofRescue Dogs Rock NYC (the rescue team that managed to save both Simon and Sammie) said that the compassion between the animals astounded her.

Both of the dogs are doing well now, and they’ve both begun recovering from not only their surgeries, but also their abusive ordeals. Sammie, sadly, lost his leg. He had been shot with a .22 caliber rifle and the doctors couldn’t save the leg.
At the clinic, though, Sammie gained a friend. Simon refused to leave his side the entire time. These two are friends for life now.
