Oliver and Finn Reunion

I forgot to add that Oliver and Finn are brothers - born from the same litter. Their adoption pictures are on the SDR Happy Tails year 2009 section of the SDR website.

Oliver and Finn Reunion - SDR Adoption Story

Dear SDR and Friends,

Oliver and Finn were rescued the same day from a puppy mill in Milwaukeein 2009. They have been apart for 2 years. I adopted Oliver and always wondered what happened to Finn. SDR led me to the lady that adopted Finn.

Well, Oliver and Finn had their reunion yesterday afternoon at my home. It was the most wonderful, joyous occasion I have ever witnessed. When Finn came in the door, I was holding Oliver and he started squirming in my arms when he saw Finn. Immediately, and I mean immediately, when Lea Taylor and I put the two dogs down on the floor, they ran to each other. I have never seen such a reaction in my life. They frolicked, they jumped on each others backs, they sniffed and licked each other, their tails wagged nonstop. It was so evident that they immediately knew each other. They chased each other and wouldn't leave each other's side. They did not need a few minutes to warm up to each other at all. Like I mentioned, their reaction to each other was instantaneous. Both Lea and I agree 100% they knew each other immediately. Lea said she has never seen Finn act that way and show such emotion nor have I seen Ollie get that excited since he is quite reserved.

Facially they look alike. My Oliver is heavier and a little bigger than Finn, partly due to the fact that Oliver still has his teeth and eats more and gets his share of treats. After they left, my little Oliver seemed almost depressed and down and out and kept going to the door, hopefully I guess to find Finn.

We took pictures of the reunion. We will continue to get the dogs together time and again. We both have fenced in yards so it works well. To think we only live a few miles from each other.

My other yorkie dog Bubba, who is the youngest but the biggest joined in the fun. Bubba is 3 years old and we got him from a home breeder as a pup. Bubba and Oliver get along great and Bubba liked Finn as well. Bubba is the spoiled brat of the family and played hearty with his two brothers. The three babies had a great time. Lea tells me that dogs get along best with other dogs of their own breed. That certainly was the case yesterday.

What a glorious day! Thank you SDR for your help in reuniting these two babies.
