Couple Adopts Dog Who Chased Their Car!

Sometimes, dogs can surprise people in ways they never thought possible. At least, a couple driving through the Spanish countryside was definitely surprised when they saw a small puppy chasing their car.

At first, Martina Russo and her partner, Fil, didn’t think much of it, telling themselves that the dog was just playing around and the owner must be nearby. But when they sped up and saw the dog increasing her speed to keep up, they knew there was something more to this story. When they saw that the dog wouldn’t stop running, they knew they needed to pull over and check on her.

They took her in the car and drove her to the nearest town. They looked everywhere for someone who would turn out to be her parent, but no one was claiming her as their pet. The couple had two choices: leave her there hoping someone would pick her up, or take her with them. Worrying about what her future might hold if they left her there, they decided to keep her until they could find out if she had a parent or not.

The dog was dirty and covered in ticks, but she was otherwise healthy. They got her to a vet to look for a microchip, but when the vet checked, there was none. So, they started posting online that they had found a dog, but still nothing. That’s when they decided to adopt the dog, who they named Moxie.

Moxie is sweet, playful, and kind, and turned out to be a perfect fit in the Russo family.
