I Adopted the Oldest Shelter Dog, Knowing She Had Only a Month Left – My Goal Was to Make It Her Happiest

Greg and I struggled with infertility, and after years of silence, I suggested adopting a dog to fill the emptiness. At the shelter, I found Maggie, a frail senior dog with health issues. Despite Greg’s objections, I brought her home, and he left me.

As Maggie recovered, so did I. Six months later, I ran into Greg, who mocked me for choosing Maggie over him. But just then, I was joined by Mark, who was holding Maggie’s leash. Maggie was thriving, and so was I.

Later that day, Mark proposed to me at the park, with Maggie by our side, symbolizing our new beginning.
