Meet Twitter user, @TeganG_. “Tegan” lives in Wisconsin, is a Marine Corps./OIF veteran and now the proud owner of this adorable puppy named Larry that she rescued on her way to work earlier this week.
Since it is #NationalPetDay and all, please have a read. It really a pick-me-up.

Larry is pretty lucky she saw him:
We live in a rural part of the state. This is a road I take twice a day on my way to/from work. I know the branches and rocks and dead deer but something looked out of place. pic.twitter.com/7lb8rR5rI0

Sargento, send this woman some cheese!
It ran away from me at first. I went to find a snack in my lunchbox and it had snuck up behind me. All I had that would interest this little lover was a @SargentoCheese Balanced Breaks – the white cheddar/nuts/cranberry one. It was either that or salad. ? pic.twitter.com/vLbClMEVTH

Larry quickly fit in at work:
I proceeded with my 40 minute commute to work. I'm a cat person and it's been a long time since I've been around a puppy. I didn't know what to do so I tucked him in my vest and took him in to get my laptop and other work items. Yay for telework agreements!!! pic.twitter.com/Fk7055Ubxn

Apparently there were a number of abandoned puppies out there:
"Oh! You found NUMBER FOUR!"

And Larry was reunited with his sisters:
It turns out little Larry (center) has three sisters! A very bad person (VBP) dumped them in a rural, wooded area not far from our home. His sisters were dropped off yesterday by an acquaintance of the VBP.
Which means Larry stayed out overnight, alone.

Do you know how hard it is to weigh puppies?! Larry (in pink) weighed in at 10 pounds and is the runt of the litter thus far. I really hope there aren't more wandering puppers in the woods. pic.twitter.com/6YhFj6gcU6

Tegan then decided to adopt Larry:
We're going to adopt Larry with the Pink Collar.
He is at the shelter with his siblings until Friday. The veterinarian wants to treat them all for worms, dehydration and give them all a well puppy exam with shots. pic.twitter.com/56yokIe2V8

You can help the shelter via this link:
This shelter tries to do it's best in a rural area but we all know it can be hard. If you feel like making a donation, here is their website: https://t.co/LBJQnxciSN

Larry with the Pink Collar will be a wonderful addition to our home and I hope this little 'tail' about *my* day brought some good into *your* day. ❤ pic.twitter.com/H7bkIHdDEf
