The puppies Gus Kenworthy adopted from Sochi are on their way to America

One of the most adorable stories from the 2014 Olympics was about Gus Kenworthy’s attempt to adopt all of the stray puppies in Sochi. He tweeted all about his efforts, but really won our hearts when he took this sweet selfie.

Kenworthy, an American freeskier who won a silver medal, kept his promise to bring the puppies home, and they are on their way! But unfortunately, one of the female strays named “Sochi” died while Kenworthy’s friend Robin Macdonald was trying to get the dogs back to America for proper treatment, according to ABC News.

I'm sorry they lost one of the dogs. But it's good that he wanted to adopt the others.
