Love can be found in the most unassuming places — and shared between the unlikeliest of partners.
We humans are not the only beings who comprehend the feeling of love. Animals have been known to understand the value in companionship and affection, sometimes more so than we do.
All creatures on Earth know the depths of heartbreak and joy — as this viral photo of two "hugging" dogs demonstrates.
However, nothing quite proves the love two animals can share than the beautiful story of Abbey and Zeus.
These two badly abused pit bulls were adopted from Speranza Animal Rescue in Pennsylvania — and ever since laying eyes on each other, the pair has been inseparable!
Luckily, they were both adopted by a loving, recently-married couple — and, just a few days ago, even had a wedding to celebrate their relationship!
Scroll on down to see how these lovebirds celebrated their magical relationship, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
Beautiful Abbey spent 800 days in Speranza Animal Rescue, a shelter in Mechanicsburg, PA.
A victim of traumatic abuse, Abbey was always extremely anxious around others dogs and humans alike.
Her shyness turned potential adopters away, and more often than not, she retreated within her own shell.
That is, until she met Zeus…
Zeus, also a victim of abuse, arrived at the same shelter with harsh physical scars. He had lost an eye, and wouldn’t go near humans.
But when the two of them met, there was an instant connection.
After spending some time together, Abbey and Zeus appeared to have become more than just friends…
Volunteers at the shelter were afraid that the soul mates would become separated if one of them were to be adopted.
In a stroke of luck, a young married couple heard about the pit bulls’ story, and decided to give them both a forever home.
Jarrett and Dagmar Moretti opened their arms and home to Abbey and Zeus.
They immediately realized that they had to bless pups’ relationship in a more meaningful way…
They had a wedding — complete with a bow tie, a bridal "gown," and favors for both dogs and humans!
Abbey and Zeus both had their own wedding vows that were read to the guests by the officiator.
“You fill up my days with companionship, love, and happiness. Speranza saved my life, and you, my dearest Abbey, saved my soul,” the officiator read from Zeus’ vows.
“Zeus, [you] did what no human and no other dog could have done,” the officiator continued from Abbey’s vows. “Your unconditional love and warm companionship filled the emotional scars that I had so much trouble filling on my own.
You showed me how to trust and love humans, and you made my life whole.”
After exchanging vows, the pair also exchanged brand new collars as their “rings.”
At the reception, they indulged in specially-made cake, and treated their guests to drink, dance, and revelry.
During the reception, guests were welcome to read more about the pit bulls' stories, about how they entered each others' lives, and how they're hoping to cherish every minute together as a married couple.
We’re thrilled that Abbey and Zeus have had the fortune to meet each other, and truly hope that they will lead a blessed life together in their new home.
