Couple Found An Abandoned Puppy At A Gas Station And Took Her With Them On Their Road Trip

During a ten-week road trip, Emily Trost and her boyfriend had an unusual encounter with an abandoned puppy who stole their hearts.

One day they pulled at a gas station to freshen up and shop. On the way out they spotted the tiny puppy waiting by their car.

“Our initial thought was that she was the pet of someone else using the gas station,” Trost said. “My boyfriend and I went around to others at the gas station asking if she was theirs. We also waited with her to see if somebody came out of the gas station store to claim her. Nobody did, and as we were waiting, we realized how dirty she was with thorns, twigs and pricklies all caught in her long hair and our hearts broke for her.”

To their surprise, a woman who feeds stray gods in the area told them that the puppy doesn’t have anyone and begged them to take her with them. Emily and her boyfriend agreed to take her on their road trip and find a rescue for her but soon realized that the adorable pup belongs with them.

“Within minutes of driving away with her in the car, we knew she was coming home with us,” Trost said.

“The morning after we got her was the best,” Trost said. “She woke up in our tent and started crawling up to our heads, whimpering and giving us kisses. We could tell she was truly surprised that we were still there with her and that no human had probably ever stayed with her for that long.”

“She loved the rest of the trip, always excited to hike and swim with us,” Trost said. “She was great in the car and would just lay down and sleep. She even loved sleeping in the tent every night and learned very quickly that wherever our tent was set up was home.”

When their trip was finally over, Emily and her boyfriend drove home with their new family member, excited to introduce her to the rest of their dogs. Montana is now thriving in her new home and loves her siblings, her toys and all the love she’s getting now that she never got before.
