The moment tiny Annabelle was lifted into her new dad’s arms, something just clicked. Even at three weeks old, this sweet little pup knew exactly where she belonged—right on Daddy’s shoulder.
That cozy spot became her favorite place in the world. And from that day on, Annabelle was officially Daddy’s girl.
“She and I share a bond you really can’t describe,” her dad told GeoAnimals.
Annabelle’s story began before she was born. Her mother, a pregnant stray, was surrendered to a local shelter just a week before giving birth. But instead of leaving her to deliver in a noisy kennel, a kind-hearted rescue volunteer brought her home to give birth in peace.
Twelve healthy puppies entered the world soon after—one of them was Annabelle.
The foster family hadn’t planned to keep any of the puppies. But then Annabelle happened. And Norman, her sweet brother, happened too.
“She has these beautiful blue eyes, and she just melts your heart,” her foster mom said.
From day one, Annabelle was drawn to her dad. If he was near, that’s where she wanted to be. When he sat down, she’d wiggle her way up to his shoulder and fall asleep with a sigh of total contentment.
“She just wanted to kiss him and be close to him all the time,” her mom added. “It’s like they’re soulmates.”
But Annabelle’s heart wasn’t just big enough for one—her bond with her brother Norman was just as unbreakable. From the moment they were born, they were inseparable.
Even with ten other siblings, Annabelle would always crawl across the pile to curl up next to Norman.
Once, when Annabelle had to go to the vet, Norman sat silently at the window the entire time—waiting, watching, and refusing to move until his sister came home.
Now grown, Annabelle is no longer a tiny pup—but she’s still Daddy’s girl through and through. Bigger body, same loving heart, and yes—same favorite shoulder to nap on.
