He leaves the door of his house open and a skinny little dog decides that it will be his home.

Emily Jokinen and her husband had become parents to a little girl . They felt their family was complete with the cute baby and their puppy, George.

During the night, Emily woke up to look for a pacifier and make sure everything was okay with her daughter. However, when she went downstairs, she discovered they had a very special visitor.

It took Jack and Emily a long time to understand what had happened. It was December then, and they wondered if it had been a strange Christmas present .

They examined the house carefully and realized they had accidentally left the door open. The little furry creature had gotten in there looking for shelter from the cold .

They spent the rest of the night cuddling him , and a couple of hours later they called a vet.

The dog didn’t have a microchip, and everything indicated she had been living on the streets . They decided to name her Suzy and were concerned about how thin she was. All her ribs were horribly visible, and she looked somewhat weak.

Plus, she had a lot of ticks and some minor injuries on her paws. The poor thing hadn’t had an easy life, but she’d chosen the perfect humans for her.

Jack and Emily realized they couldn’t let her go. They set out to give her all the help she needed and gave her one of their dog George’s beds .

A few days later, the little furry friend proved she was adapting wonderfully to her new family. Not only did she get along well with the other dog, but she also proved to be very affectionate with the baby. She seemed truly destined to live there.
