When a hooman, Dr. Brian Eberhart, met a little pup by the name of Elliot, he knew that they were meant to be together forever.
And, of course, he was willing to do whatever it took for this to become a reality.
Meant To Be

Elliot, a Border Collie puppy, was a frightened stray who was rescued and brought to the Palm Springs Animal Shelter.
Having such a tough life, Elliot was really afraid of anyone who approached him, trying to hide away from the world.
However, his soft gaze melted anyone it fell upon and made every passerby stop and admire the little pup.

An Unusual View
On the morning of Elliot’s adoption, the shelter staff came to work expecting a regular work day; however, they were stunned when they saw that somebody came way before them.
In front of the Palm Springs Rescue, Dr. Eberhart made himself comfortable, sitting in a chair and reading a book, waiting for the shelter to open its doors.

We noticed Dr. Eberhart camped out in front of the shelter … and found out he was there to adopt Elliot. Other people came by that morning as well, but once they found out that we didn’t open until 1 p.m. that day, they gave up and left.
However, Dr. Eberhart wasn’t discouraged by this fact and was more than willing to wait because Elliot was more than worth it.
As soon as the shelter opened, the pair met, and Elliot just couldn’t contain his excitement when he realized what was really going on.
