This is one of the coolest love stories I've heard in a while. It sounds like something from a Hallmark movie or just a good ole Hollywood chick flick, but it's a true story! How cool is that?!
From Yahoo:
Savannah Campbell remembers thinking that both the puppy – and the guy – were cute.
The 24-year-old medical device sales rep was in a Raleigh, North Carolina, pet store buying a special water bowl for her disabled dog last weekend when she spotted the adorable pair.
“I saw this adorable puppy with bright blue eyes and the cutest little face.”
She played with Rosy the dog and chatted with her owner, Daniel Vance, a bit and then left to finish her weekend errands — but she couldn’t stop thinking about the guy and the puppy.
“I called my girlfriend and told her all about the guy, but said that I didn’t get his name and number, and she said you didn’t shoot your shot,” Campbell tells PEOPLE.
The next night, Campbell was alone in a hotel room on a business trip when she decided to take a chance, posting about the encounter on a neighborhood Facebook page. She mentioned the guy, Rosy the puppy, the friend the mystery guy was with, and the friend’s Labrador — pretty much all the facts she had.
“Shameless request for a viral love story,” Savannah wrote. “I met a guy in a Petco … Sunday, I didn’t catch his name but he is the new daddy to a gorgeous little 7 week old puppy named Rosy. He was with another guy who had a super cute older Lab…”
People quickly began sharing the post and by Tuesday morning, the internet had found her guy. The owner of the Lab, Garrett Estes, had seen the post when his grandmother shared it with him.
Estes, a good friend and co-worker of Vance’s immediately made the connection and texted his friend, “She’s looking for you bud.”
Vance, a 27-year-old who works in his family’s electrical contracting business, tells PEOPLE “My phone started exploding and it was all kind of crazy and exciting. We started texting and we decided as soon as she got back from her business trip we would go out.”
Campbell says she was shocked by how invested the whole community became in their story. “People kept asking for updates, a restaurant offered us a free dinner for our first date … someone even started a GoFundMe to send us on a honeymoon.”
That is so sweet! I can definitely see it working out for them and the puppy... See his picture below... What do you think? I think they're perfect for each other!!!
