A puppy was found in November.

He had walked three miles behind a bike as his owner took him to a shelter.

The dog named Clyde had been living in a basement.

His owner was giving him up because he wanted to use the basement for something else.

Clyde’s fur was severely matted.

He couldn’t see and his fur was also very hard.

The basement had been filled with rats or mice, and Clyde was covered in their urine.

He needed emergency grooming that took three and a half hours.

The hair around his legs and tail were too tough to remove with grooming, so a vet had to cut it away.

The pup spent weeks in rehabilitation.

Then one day, he met his new owner.

It was love at first sight.

His new fur mom had always felt Clyde was meant for her.

The date Clyde was rescued was the day his new mom's father passed away. His nickname had been Clyde also.

It was almost as if the two were meant to be together all along.

In a way, they saved each other.
