I could never forget the day I met you. Never ever. I waited so long to meet you. I never thought this moment in my life could impact me forever. I spent countless days counting down the days until you would be here in my arms. I day dreamed about petting your furry little head, having unlimited cuddles and playing fetch. I hope you will become a fetch dog. I had put in an application for you three weeks ago. I stumbled upon your picture on the pet finder. I was overly excited to find out, we have been chosen to adopt you, to call you a part of the family. It was two weeks later where we took the hour long drive to San Francisco airport to pick you up. My little puppy would be flying all the way from South Korea to California. I hope you’ll like it here. Once arriving at the airport we parked our car in the parking garage and walked down the corridor to international arrivals. I began to grow anxious seeing all the people walk out the international gate. Suddenly, a man with a flat cart came out with two dogs in the kennels. I hurriedly walk over to look at the dogs. The man spoke, “ are you here for a dog?” Yes, I am. I told him. He asked, “ what is the name of the dog? “ I said, “ Her name is Bebe. She’s jindo mix” The man reads the name tags of dogs. “ she’s none of these ones. There are more dogs coming out soon” “ oh” I replied. I anxiously walked around hoping soon more dogs would come out soon. I looked at the time. It’s 12:30. They said she was here by 11:30. It has already taken more than an hour. Finally, two people came out with flat carts and kennels stacked high. My boyfriend and I fast walked towards the kennels. I looked inside each kennel . I stumbled upon a dog that looked like ours. I read the name tag “ Bibi”. “ Oh.. that one's not ours. It must be her sister” The man holding onto one of the flat carts asked who we were here for. I said “ Bebe” She’s over here he pointed to his colleague holding the other cart. I walked over to the kennel. I looked inside. I saw black face puppy with beady eyes and a brindle coat. I couldn’t believe it. That one was ours. We grabbed a flat cart and put her kennel on top. We pushed Bebe towards our car. I couldn’t wait to get back home to let her out. The drive back home felt like a lifetime. Once we got home. My bf carried the kennel upstairs to our condo. We closed the door and opened her kennel. Slowly the little black face puppy walked out. She immediately walked over to me and sat in front of me. I reached over to pet her. Her tail immediately wagged. She was a lot bigger than I expected. The pictures on the website were not updated. I didn’t care. She was perfect and she was ours. This unique dark face puppy, with a brindle coat and curly tail. Bebe looked like a wild dog. She wasn’t wild dog. She Jindo mix saved from the dog meat trade industry. The funny thing is the kennel that came with her labeled her as hyena. We later changed her name to Boba. Welcome to the family Boba. We are so glad you are here to stay. We can’t wait to spoil you rotten.
