Dog Gets Adopted But Doesn’t Want To Leave Her Best Friend

by Damjan

Lucy and Sully are the most devoted of friends. They met at a shelter and quickly became friends, even sharing a foster home.

When a woman was wanting to adopt Lucy, it was made obvious that they were a package deal, so she took both of them. Their origin stories are mostly a mystery.

Redhead Lucy was a couple of years old when she came to the shelter, and Sully was barely a puppy when he arrived. They got along swimmingly, and Lucy adored Sully as if he were her own son.

It is hardly a surprise that they didn't want to be separated. So, Alana Brinton had no choice - she took them both.

Alaina Brinton said goodbye to her senior dog seven years ago, and a few months later, she was ready to open her heart to someone new. Lucy sparked her interest, so she called the shelter to arrange a meeting.

“I saw a picture of Lucy at my local humane society and just had to meet her,” Brinton says. “When I called, they said that she’d been fostered with another dog and they’d like for me to also meet her buddy. I figured there wouldn’t be any harm in seeing both.”

She hadn't intended to acquire two dogs, but she recognized how close Lucy and Sully were and knew they'd be heartbroken if they were separated. This wasn't a problem because Sully charmed Brinton as well.

“I fell in love right away. Besides, it was obvious Sully was looking to Lucy to show him what things were or weren’t okay, and I wouldn’t have had the heart to split them up.”

Both dogs were anxious in their new home and relied heavily on one another to get through the stressful transition.

“The same way they feed off of each other’s excitement, they also fed off of each other’s growing comfort,” Brinton explained. “They settled in together, and figured out the new routine like a team. It was perfect, and I think it was a much easier transition for each of them because of the company of the other.”

They've been adopted for seven years, and their bond is still going strong. These two do everything together in their Kentucky home, whether it's playing, resting, or snoozing.

“They’re buddies forever. Anytime they’re settling in together, Lucy will give Sully a couple of licks on his forehead and he just looks like he’s so pleased.”

The only time they are not glued together is when they go to the dog park and Sully wants to run around. Even yet, they don't stay away for more than a few minutes at a time.

“When he’s roaming around the dog park, Sully will come back and check on Lucy every couple of minutes or so,” Brinton says. “He says hi, walks with her for a bit, and then he’s off again. She doesn’t seem to mind.”
