Nothing is more priceless than a boy’s passion for his first pet dog. But one new friendship has something unique in common with the other, and they magically connected when they most needed it.
The 2-year-old Jackson, Michigan resident Bentley Boyers was born with a cleft lip. a condition when the top lip is split open at birth. His parents claim that although he has had surgery to correct his lip, it hasn’t been simple.
It was a procedure, as his mother, Ashley, explained to WILX, because we had to feed him while holding his lip together for him to eat.
Then last week, something incredible occurred: Bentley’s father, Brandon went to a shelter to adopt chickens, but instead, he saw a two-month-old rescue dog… who also happened to have a cleft palate.
He phoned his wife after being shocked, and they both agreed that Bentley needed the dog.

Bentley is overjoyed to get his new dog. Pictures capture him lovingly caressing and kissing the puppy after first meeting her.
The shelter said they don’t see many dogs with cleft lips, so it’s just a coincidence that they happened to be there at the appropriate time. It’s an improbable miracle.
They know Bentley will benefit greatly from owning a dog with the same congenital condition. He needs bone grafting surgery to repair his lip, but at least he’ll have a dog who can sympathize with him.
It means a lot to see him share a trait with a puppy because as he ages, he will realize that he and the puppy have something in common.

Like the puppy, she will have a loving owner who will accept her no matter how she appears.
“Her disability is not holding her back, and as she grows, they’ll be able to see more if there’s any change that has to do with that. But she’s doing well,” Animal Services Director Lydia Sattler told WILX.
“She might look slightly different than a normal dog, but it’s not slowing her down.”

“They instantly loved each other,” the shelter wrote on Facebook. “We wish you many years of joy as this special pair grows up!”
