A Fateful Encounter

When Dr. Brian Eberhart first laid eyes on a timid Border Collie puppy named Elliot, he felt an instant connection. He was determined to do whatever it took to make Elliot a part of his family.

To ease his transition, the shelter placed Elliot in a foster home. Little did Elliot know, this arrangement would pave the way to his forever home.
