Not all friendships start with a wagging tail, but this one did—and it’s a story that’ll tug at your heartstrings.
Katie Newhouser, a hardworking UPS driver, meets countless people on her daily delivery route. But one special client stood out, and he wasn’t your typical customer. His name was Leo—a lovable pit bull who lived with his doting owner.
Every time Katie’s brown truck rolled up, Leo would sprint to greet her, tail wagging furiously like she was the highlight of his day. It wasn’t long before this furry, four-legged “client” stole Katie’s heart.
Their bond grew stronger with each visit. Over a year of tail wags, belly rubs, and excited reunions, Leo became more than just a customer—he was Katie’s friend.
But one day, after returning from vacation, Katie arrived at Leo’s house to discover devastating news. His owner had passed away. Katie’s heart sank. Leo, who had known nothing but love, was now at risk of being sent to a shelter.
Katie couldn’t bear the thought. She knew shelters could be tough places for dogs like Leo. So, without hesitation, she stepped up in a big way—she adopted him.
Now, Leo has a forever home with someone who loves him just as much as his first owner did. Katie says he’s like a giant kid—a big, gentle soul who’s never short on affection.
“I’ve never met a kinder dog,” Katie shares, and honestly, we’ve never heard of a kinder person.
