Sometimes you find them, sometimes they find you. He ended up exactly where he's supposed to be. ♥

❤️💯❤️💯

[@bryngarrett4973]

Came here to say this too! So awesome how things work out, and Ryder is right where he is meant to be-I love it!! 💙

A dog’s way home

[@donberry6079]

The Lord God directed this puppy to the right people. Good for both. Praise God.

[@debbie678]

What a great story ❤. He was afraid of cars because he didn't want to get dumped off again, and wasn't allowed in the house. He picked his forever home! Bless you all.

[@corseeis482]

Couldn't have said it any better myself you took all the words exactly from my mouth

[@rumpelstiltskin6965]

🙂👍🙏

[@meerratiwarrii9137]

be with all these kind people always.

[@yunengdahl3675]

My thoughts exactly

[@jeannesutter4951]

I had a dog who hated cars when I first adopted her. I practically cheered when she finally jumped in without hesitation or coaxing. We did so many road trips during our 13 1/2 years together. I miss her every day.

[@MC-ez9lv]

The children are so great with Ryder. It's obvious Ryder loves them too. What a wonderful Mom to rescue this beautiful pup.

[@amandasnider2644]

God looked at this family and said, "I'm gonna send you a good boy" And he did.

[@topcatwarrior]

She’s a wonderful mom! When she said we were in no way prepared for a dog, she didn’t let that stop her from doing right by Ryder. He fit into their little family so well, and is great with the children. I hope they have a long and happy life together. Ryder is a very loved and lucky boy.🐾🐾

[@kataleah1798]

It was like mother instincts kicked in all over again

[@lenallure]

"We needed to be his home". So beautiful 😭

[@flenzy]

I know. That made me cry.

[@marywatkins6798]

I think a child should have a pet. It teaches them unconditional love, responsibility, empathy, and friendship. These little kids are so cute with Ryder.

[@Tensen01]

That puppy clearly had a young boy he loved in his previous family. So sad he got abandoned, but so wonderful that he found a loving home.

[@cherylcook634]

Thank you for rescuing the pupper. Angels appear in all shapes and sizes.

[@Guinnivere]

Mom/person of the year. Even though you said you “weren’t prepared for a dog” you stepped up and took care of this little living soul anyway. Children can be unexpected too and people make do. Well done teaching your children not to “throw away” living beings. Ryder is so lucky to be in your beautiful family

[@bettyboo8214]

Those kids have a great mother. What a lovely family.

[@nikiryan8648]

I think this is the Perfect ANSWER/COMMENT. you taught your children to respect and honor a lost soul. KUDOS to MOM!!!!

[@kandykane3552]

We definitely need more angels like her in this world. Beautiful inside and out. 🙏👑💜❤️💙💚💖💯🌟

[@franksmith7247]

Yes! ❤

[@adeladavila-estelritz7315]

Yes, you all were meant for each other! Thank you SO MUCH for rescuing him and loving him SO much.❤️

[@Chesh89]

She was so kind and patient with him. It's amazing how they know just where to go to find help. This is such a deserving family for such an amazing pup!

[@lynnhoffman247]

Probably doesn’t like cars because he was most likely dumped out of one. 😢. So glad he found the right place!❤

[@clee5192]

The little boy putting the blanket on Ryder…..😭❤️

[@bethanysmith5856]

He sensed/saw there are kids in the family and felt there needed to be one more in the family

[@moxievintage1390]

Poor lil guy prolly was missing his mom and his siblings….. so he searched and searched…. And found new ones! 🥰

[@doloreseast8072]

God bless this wonderful family for giving him a home!

[@iamredknot]

It's said that people who have passed away always return in the form of animals. It's good to introduce kids to animals at a young age, they learn patience, kindness etc and grow up to be good adults. This was a heartwarming video.

[@angiepangie989]

My brother passed away unexpectedly right before Christmas 2018, a few months later in March on my other brothers birthday this random little kitty showed up in my backyard and came running right up to me when I went to go check on him and hasn't left since ❤.

[@marysimon]

The dog who came to stay. So sweet.

[@annabenavidez5808]

If people were like your family, this world will be a way better place and he is such a sweet pup

[@lisar7996]

That’s one lucky dog! ❤

[@edwinearl4584]

Meant to be. What a gift! ❤

[@2TMarie]

Good thing he showed up at a loving home, and such a perfect fit for the kids, so they can grow together!

[@hallcody3]

It was a match made in heaven, he seems like a great dog for a great family

[@urmelausdemeis4743]

this beautiful boy was definitely meant to be in this loving home ❤❤❤

[@over2seeyer]

he's clearly an angel who came down from heaven to bring joy and happiness to that family

[@donnabaardsen5372]

Who dumps, abandons such precious creatures? So cruel. Now he's in his forever home and greatly loved 😍

[@gottalovegabe1176]

Bless this family for taking him in instead of dumping him at the shelter ❤️

[@francescacastiglione7094]

Oh, he’s adorable! Thank you for keeping him and becoming his new forever family.

[@JustMe-px9qy]

You’re good people! Thank you for caring for him. ❤ He’s lucky he landed on your doorstep.

[@jenmarks6594]

Ryder knew exactly what he was doing when he wandered on their porch. He knew he was getting a great home. 💗💗

[@violetotterbine5746]

Omg he's so CUTE

[@HowDeeDo]

[@j3pelfrey]

Such a handsome dog and such beautiful people to love him just because he was there. When you open your heart and give a little of yourself you get so much in return. I am so happy for your family and their new plus 1.

[@donovanbradford8231]

Oh my lord they will have the sweetest boy. Ryder is the spitting image of my old buddy Riley I miss him very much but he had that puppy energy till the day he went. Ryder is not only with a family that loves him but he loves them so much definitely a win win for all.

That was so heartwarming, and I'm glad Ryder now has a good home where he is loved and safe. I have an adopted dog and I am totally convinced that rescued and adopted dogs know they're special. My Lucy is so special to me and I tell her every day how much I love her. ❤️

[@jentaylor13]

You finally carried him in! Lol, “Close the door!” kid voice.

[@kevinp8108]

Having a dog teaches children to love and care for a living thing. My dogs taught me patience and forgiveness.
