I saw this story and just had to share it........
Ella a Rottweiler was emaciated and drinking from a drainage ditch along an empty stretch of highway. Kathy who found the dog works for a rescue shelter, says it's typical for people to dump unwanted pets in the middle of nowhere - but again, the dog's demeanor convinced her there was more to the story. So she did some detective work, and what she found is a heart-wrenching tale of unending loyalty.
Kathy found the first clues to this mystery - broken glass and tail lights - right near where she found the dog. And just down from there, she found a second set of even more intriguing clues: personal items gathered up. By the dog, she assumed.
"It was like she was sleeping with them - or waiting with them," Kathy said. Kathy remembered two weeks earlier she'd driven by an accident on the same stretch of highway. She remembered because it was such a horrible crash. A single car had flipped over and landed on the side of the road, at just about the same spot where she found the dog.
She called highway patrol and learned that the family had survived the crash. Thrown from the car, rescue crews never saw the dog. She spent 13 days scavenging for food along the highway - and 13 nights bedding down with whatever she could find that smelled like her lost family.
"That's the last spot she saw her family and she was going to stay there," Kathy said.
After two weeks believing that their dog, Ella, had died, the family of Joe and Michelle Kelly got the most wonderful, slobbery surprise of their lives.
For the first time since the accident, the Kelly's had a good reason to cry -all thanks to a dog who refused to forget her family - and the stranger who refused to take lost for answer.
Unfortunately, it was a bittersweet reunion because of the accident and the medical expenses, the Kelly family has had to temporarily relocate to a place that doesn't allow dogs.
The good news is, Kathy has promised to hold onto Ella for as long as the Kelleys need to get back on their feet.
Here is a picture of Ella and Kathy:
There is one major problem in this story for me. This is suppose to be a happy ending reuniting with her family. Here is a dog who has undying loyalty to her family and they give her up again?? I can understand if there is financial set backs, but there is somethings you just don’t give up! I would go to the ends of the earth to find a place who would take in my dog.
Do you think this family was right in giving up Ella after just finding her?

- but as a mother with 2 young children, if it were a home for my kids or a home for the dog, I'm choosing the home for my kids. Knowing that my beloved pet had a loving place to stay where I could visit until I found a more suitable place would mean the world to me of course. If that situation happened to me, I don't believe in coincidences like that, so I would be searching for a new place ASAP.
. It is hard to recover and build a trust in a dog after like something like that happens.
$ but worth it. I'll never forget their love and acceptance of me.
