It’s heartbreaking when a dog is surrendered back to the shelter he came from, but this story does have a happy ending.
When Rhino Lightning was dropped off at the Utah Humane Society, by the family who had adopted him, it was sad. That is until the staff looked through the “instruction book” that came with him; it was written by his former 8-year-old little girl owner.
You see Rhino got much bigger than the family had expected when they picked him out and they just couldn’t give him the proper environment.
So what did his instruction book say? It included "Please don't change his name. He likes sleeping under blankets. Take him on at least 2 or 3 runs a day. Tell Rhino I love and miss him every night."
This is where Melanie Hill steps in. She saw him and adopted him right away. Another one of the requirements in the instructions was Rhino have a doggie sibling. Check! Melanie makes sure she follows the booklet every day!
