Pearl Radcliff disappeared last week and was known to take walks with her dogs. The 84-year-old woman suffers from dementia and memory loss, so officials and her family were concerned. Radcliff’s nephew Dawne Griffith was searching and searching until he finally got the call he was waiting for, KHOU 11 reported. The woman was found with her dog by her side, and she was taken to the hospital.

Just over a week before she went missing, Radcliff adopted Maximus. The loyal dog did not leave her side the whole time that she was missing. This heartwarming story goes to show how precious a relationship between a human and an animal can be, no matter how little time they have spent together.

To reduce the number of suffering dogs on the streets and dogs who are euthanized, it’s important to adopt instead of shop for a dog and never support breeding. Familiarize yourself with tips for adopting so you’re well prepared and read about why breeding dogs is a problem, even if the breeder is “reputable.”
