A rescued puppy with a cleft lip had been at an animal shelter in Jackson, Mich., for almost a week, and staff worried that the dog wouldn’t be adopted. Then a man walked into the shelter who has a 2-year-old son with a cleft lip. When Brandon Boyers, 27, spotted Lacey, the small black-and-white dog whose cleft lip reminded him of his son Bentley, he called his wife on FaceTime to show her the puppy. “I immediately told him to adopt her,” said Ashley Boyers, 23. “I said to bring her home today.” Brandon Boyers asked Lydia Sattler, the director of the animal shelter, about the adoption process. “I explained that they could take the puppy home two days later, after she had her final vet appointment,” said Sattler, who was delighted that a family was interested in adopting the dog. But Bentley’s parents couldn’t wait to introduce their son to his new friend with a familiar face. The next day, Ashley Boyers brought Bentley to the shelter for a visit.

But even amongst all the bad, as always, there were good things. And even though I might have dragged my feet a little bit to collect them, they were still there, and they still filled my heart with all that good stuff.
