Seven years ago, Shea Bennett was a college student at Indiana University who just wanted to get through exams before winter break. She and her roommates took a break from studying and visited the Humane Society in Bloomington, Indiana. There, Bennett fell in love with Rudolph, a Golden Retriever- Shar-Pei mix with disabled back legs. Despite his handicap, Rudolph ran and played just like any other dog. She adopted him that day.
A lot has changed in Bennetts life since she brought Rudolph home. She graduated from college, moved at least nine times and got married. Throughout all that, one thing has remained the same: Her love for Rudolph. Hes such an important part of her life that she even included him in her wedding in a rather creative way.
We caught up with Bennett, a 27-year-old human resources professional who lives in Houston, to hear more about her pups inspiring rescue story.
Q: Can you tell us the story of how you rescued Rudolph?
A: It was actually just by chance, but now I think it was meant to be. Originally I had been studying for midterms before Christmas break in college, and my roommates and I were just losing our minds studying. We thought, What can we do to just take a break? So we went to the Humane Society.

that has been with me for 5 years now. She is a genuine spot of joy in my life, and while I might have rescued her from starving to death in the winter, she has rescued me in so many other ways, they don't even begin to pay the favor.
