Loyal Lab Found in Street by Buddy's Side Has New Home
A dog who stayed by another dog's side after her companion was struck and killed by a vehicle on a busy Southern California street will be adopted Monday at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center.
Staff at the center named the black lab, "Grace." She stuck by her companion, a golden retriever, as traffic rolled past just a few feet away on Hacienda Boulevard in La Puente.
"She was really scared at first," said Isha Willits, an animal care attendant at the center. "But she's starting to come around. She's walking on a leash more, she's giving kisses. The more love she gets, the better she'll be."
A person who committed to adopt the dog will be at the facility Monday, Willits said. If that person fails to show up, other interested parties will be considered.
"I think it's the loyalty for her companion," said Willits. "We all reach out for something like that."
Grace was expected to be at her new home Monday afternoon.
