The adorable pup you’re about to meet couldn’t be more excited to be reunited with the man who saved her life.


Chunkie was so thrilled to reunite with firefighter Mike Thawley from Fire Station 14 in Sacramento, CA. Mike recently discovered the poor, sick puppy tied up in the rain. There was no one around to claim her — no one making sure she was safe after being left all alone outside in the elements.

Mike cleaned her up and brought her to Front Street Animal Shelter for some much-needed medical attention. The wonderful staff began treating her mange, and she enjoyed being dressed in a warm clothing to protect her skin.


Chunkie was so happy to be saved from neglect, but she had formed such a strong bond with Mike that she already missed him by the time he dropped her off at the shelter and then left.

But the following day, Mike returned to the shelter to visit his grateful new friend. The reunion is absolutely incredible.

Now, he’s speaking to his family about fostering Chunkie!

Followers have their fingers crossed that Mike gets the approval he needs and will soon be taking Chunkie home.

This video is further proof that pit bulls don’t have to grow up to be violent or aggressive.
