Woman Sees Her Dog Outside And Brings Her In -- Then Realizes She's Already Inside

[Demovictory9]

Tia Belton was arriving home from work one day and was excited to get inside to see her dog, Reese. As she pulled up to her apartment, she noticed something shocking — Reese all alone outside, sniffing around a dumpster. Belton was immediately livid and had no idea how Reese had managed to get out of the apartment.

“I was distressed — my Reese never wanders off and doesn’t particularly enjoy running outside,” Belton told The Dodo. “Our apartment complex dumpster is not near my apartment at all. She normally just lays in the sun, so for her to be sniffing around the dumpster was too much for me.”

Belton called for Reese, and she came running over to the car immediately. She jumped in and Belton parked and then carried Reese up to the apartment. She was still feeling a little annoyed at Reese — when she opened the door and saw Reese already inside waiting for her.

Belton looked at the dog in her arms who was not Reese but looked exactly like her and quickly realized her mistake. The mystery dog, who she later figured out is named Bella, didn’t seem to mind the mix-up at all.

Belton put up posters and drove around with Reese and Bella and did some searching, and after three days, Bella’s family reached out to her. Belton and Reese said goodbye to Reese’s unexpected twin, and the sweet little dog was reunited with her family. The mystery of the look-alike dog had been solved, and Belton left the experience with one very important lesson.

1. Well, I'll be doggone...

... At first, I thought the story must be fiction... because i would recognize my dog. But, after reading the circumstance and looking at the photos, I could see it was real. I love a good dog tale!

2. A nasty neighbor called me once...

to tell me my dog was running loose. Nope, not my dog who I was looking at indoors! It was another tri-colored Sheltie resembling my dog! It felt good to give her a comeuppance!

3. I was at a party where the host had two Westies. When a Westie appeared at the front door

I let her in before I glanced thru the back patio doors and there were her two dogs looking back at me.

6. I've done that with a cat once

But dogs are more distinctive-looking, I would have said. At least to the eye of love.
