Bentley’s father had originally gone to the local animal shelter to adopt chickens, but he returned home with a puppy instead.

Upon seeing a black-and-white pup with a cleft lip, just like his son, Bentley, he knew this puppy would be the perfect addition to their family. Two-year-old Bentley was delighted to meet his new best friend.

His mom, Ashley Boyers, is also excited about the budding friendship. ”Have something in common with a puppy means a lot because he can grow up and understand.” She continued, “That he and his puppy both have something that they can share in common,” Ashley.

The ‘instant love’ between the two-month-old pup and Bentley has been bringing smiles to people all over the country. “It’s so hard to put into words how meaningful this adoption is to all of us.”

Verse of the Day

“[Love Your Enemies] “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”

Matthew 5:43-45
