On a quiet street corner in Southern California, two dogs huddled together day after day, waiting for someone to notice them. The pit bull and her tiny Yorkie-mix friend had been there for nearly a week, inseparable the entire time.
When a kind woman finally spotted them, she asked neighbors if they belonged to anyone. No one claimed them. Worried for their safety, she reached out to Logan’s Legacy dog rescue for help.
“They were just glued to each other,” said Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy. “When I first saw them, they reminded me of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in Twins. They were little partners in crime.”
Though both pups were clearly heartbroken, their eyes lit up the moment Hall approached.
“I started talking to them, and their whole demeanor changed,” Hall recalled. “They looked at each other, wagging their tails like they were saying, ‘Somebody finally came for us!’”
Hall expected the rescue to be tricky — usually it takes time and humane traps. But the little Yorkie mix wasted no time.
“She just ran straight to me and let me scoop her up,” Hall said. “She only wanted love.”
Right behind her, the pit bull followed. Though shy at first, she couldn’t stand being apart from her tiny best friend.
“As soon as I picked up the little one, the pittie wanted to come too,” Hall said. “That’s when I knew I had them both.”
The Yorkie-mix settled into Hall’s car, while the pittie pressed her nose to the window, desperate to rejoin her. Hall opened the door, and the pit bull leapt right in without hesitation.
For the dog's safety, Hall placed the pittie in a large crate in the back, but the dogs refused to be apart.
“The next thing I knew, the little one was trying to get into the big cage with the pittie,” Hall said. “So, I finally put them together. And when they knew they were safe, they just cuddled again and fell fast asleep.”
At the vet’s office, Hall named the pair Thelma and Louise — two best friends facing the world together. Both pups passed their checkups, though Louise will need a grooming session and Thelma is being treated for a mild skin rash.
Even in crates at the hospital, the girls refused to be separated. When Hall placed them side by side, they curled up together and finally fell into a peaceful sleep.
“They have to stay together,” Hall said. “They’re so in love with each other.”
Thelma and Louise are now resting comfortably while they search for a foster or adoptive home — one that will take them both, so their unbreakable bond never has to be tested again.
“This was one of my favorite rescues ever,” Hall admitted. “You could just tell from the start that they were best friends.”
To inquire about fostering or adopting Thelma and Louise, reach out to Suzette Hall on Facebook.
