Dog meets her "twin" while out on a walk – convinces mom to adopt him
What would you do if you were out and about and ran into your doppelganger? It would be a pretty odd encounter, wouldn’t it?
Many of us may never know what it’s like but have probably been told that somebody, somewhere resembles us. It happens. Still, it’s quite different than actually coming face-to-face with someone who looks eerily identical to you.
Believe it or not, dogs actually have similar experiences and even realize how weird it can be. That is what happened when Bethany and Tyson’s dog, Rogue, came across another dog named Beast that looked identical to her.
Bethany recounted the incident with Bored Panda, “Rogue and I were out for a nice long walk to our local farmers market when we saw Beast,” she began.
“He was there with Last Hope K9 Rescue and a bunch of other dogs that were all up for adoption. What made me want to rescue Beast over the other dogs was that he looked just like Rogue. They’re both cairn terrier mixes, Rogue’s mom was a lab/pit mix and her dad a cairn and with Beast we’re just not sure, it just has cairn mix I. His paperwork but we think he’s mixed with Basset due to his body type, he looks like a pig and has even been mistaken for a pig a couple times.”
But she wasn’t looking to adopt another pet, at least just yet. However, Tyson felt differently.
“Tyson, my boyfriend aka the dad, really wanted another dog but I was so against the idea. We already had 2 senior cats that I brought into the relationship and our puppy Rogue. I was not about to add one more animal to the mix, who in the right mind would ever let us rent an apartment from them.”
In the end, Bethany couldn’t pass up an opportunity to give Rogue a forever-friend.
“I just instantly fell in love with him! He was Rogue’s twin! They also got along and immediately started playing with one another. So right then and there I started filling out the paperwork. I even have the first picture ever of him when he was at the market.”
When they got home, the bigger of the two, Beast, attempted to assert his dominance at his new home. But Rogue wasn’t having any of it. Even the couple’s two cats had to adjust to the new addition of their family.
“It took about a month for everyone, including the cats, to find their groove. To be fair we got them the same exact toys thinking that would solve everything. Nope! Rogue always and actually to this day wants whatever Beast has. It’s funny to watch when we give them treats. Halfway through whatever it is they’ll switch and go for each other’s toy. But at heart, they’re best friends!”
The family now resides in Hawaii surrounded by beautiful beaches and endless waves. The dogs love playing in the sand and in the water!
We’re so glad that everything has worked out for this growing family! You just never know how running into your twin can turn out.
