Miss. couple travels to Texas to rescue shelter dog seen on social media

A Mississippi couple fell in love with picture of a 4-year-old cockapoo on social media and decided they wanted to adopt the shelter dog. They contacted the Humane Society, had a Skype interview with the pooch, and that was when they decided they wanted a new pet. The only problem was Elwood, the dog, was more than a 1,000 miles away in El Paso, Texas. But the couple drove 18 hours to meet their newest addition to their family. "We had been looking for about 6 months. Looking everyday, (and) everywhere we went, everything we saw, just didn't match up right," owner Angel Lott said. The new owners said Elwood has a lot of energy, but they will probably change his name.
