Confused dog waited ‘by the door’ after her owner died. Then came good news
A dog in mourning for her beloved owner now has a new family she can give her love to in Ohio.
When Tilly, a brown and white Chihuahua mix with expressive eyes, lost her owner, a want of understanding took over that no one could explain to her.
“When Tilly’s owner passed away, the family told us he loved his dogs more than anything in the world. We believed them the second we met his dogs,” the Brown County Humane Society Dog Shelter in Georgetown said in a July 31 Facebook post.
“Tilly was sweet, loyal, confused, and still waiting by the door. She’s the one with the soulful eyes and the ‘I’ve seen things’ expression that comes from being the responsible sibling in a house.”
Luckily for Tilly, there was another family out there for her, one that will help her through the grieving process and renew feelings of love and protection again.
“Today, we got to send her home,” the shelter continued.
“Not only did she find a new family who adores her, she also gained two tiny, opinionated fur siblings—who seem thrilled to have a new big sister (and someone to blame things on).
“Tilly’s person would be proud.”
People in the comment section were thrilled the shelter was able to find the pup the perfect home.
“So happy for Tilly,” one person said.
“This makes my heart so happy,” another noted.
“Big, cheesy grins on Tilly and her new Mom and Dad... The other two look a bit skeptical but I know they’ll all have fun together soon,” someone chimed in.

Georgetown is about a 40-mile drive southeast from Cincinnati.
