Dog Given Up For Being Too Clingy Finds New Family To Return The Love
"I knew I was supposed to have her."

Jubilee's former owner brought her to a Texas animal shelter on Friday, saying he was turning her over because "she always wants to be by my side."
At least that's the heartbreaking version of what happened to this 1-year-old dog, the story that traveled around the Internet, lightning-quick -- fast and moving enough that within a day, the shelter was flooded with adoption inquiries, and Jubilee had a brand new home with a loving family glad to have this velcro-like pup sticking close.
"It touched me. She loved so much," Samantha Fewox, Jubilee's new human mom, said to The Huffington Post. "I knew I was supposed to have her."
Indeed as of Saturday, Jubilee has come to live with Fewox, another rescue dog named Abby, and Fewox's mother and teenage son -- who's already become Jubilee's favorite person, the one she hates being apart from.
"She loves him," Fewox said. "She does stay right by your side."

I have a black lab/Chessie mix who keeps me in sight. Chesapeake retrievers are known to be aloof - so the Labrador in her wants to be by side, but the Chessie in her doesn't want me to know it...so she is just within reach all the time. It is so cute.

I'm so happy she found her forever family.
