After spending two years at an animal shelter in Virginia, a dog named Charlie finally found his forever home.
"It's finally happening, and especially when you get so attached to dogs,” Ashley Hamilton told WTVR. "It's just huge."
Hamilton, one of the people who took care of Charlie at the Spotsylvania Animal Shelter, became emotional knowing that the beloved pooch will live the rest of his life in a caring home.
“Sorry," she said while holding back tears. "It's just really exciting."
Just like Joel Carpenter, who famously traveled more than 1,000 miles to pick up his four-legged friend, Charlie's new owner found himself in a similar situation. Jason Davis, who grew up near the shelter, drove hundreds of miles from Pennsylvania to pick up the bull terrier mix.
And the traveling will continue: Davis plans to bring Charlie along with him on work trips where he delivers boats to customers.
"It was love at first sight,” Davis said. “He is going to be spoiled rotten. He'll get to see the country. He'll be in the ocean tomorrow."
He added: “That's one of the reasons I did take him, because I knew how much he was loved here.”
