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.”
