You may sometimes see a stray dog near your house or on the street. They may have stayed for a few minutes, but then the time to leave always comes. They get tired or bored and they leave in search of new adventures.

But this is not how the dog in this story rolls. He is an amazing dog that spent days with a family before the time came for them to part. And the story goes like this.

A few months ago, Amy Haden was at home with her daughter. As a family, they usually wake up early in the morning, and she’s often at home with her daughter and their two pet dogs. But that day, there was a guest waiting for them on the patio.

As Amy was going about her morning routine, her daughter told her that there was a dog in the porch. Amy thought she meant one of their dogs, so she let the girl know that she had let them out earlier that morning.

But, then she realized it was not one of theirs.

“Whose dog is that?” Amy can be heard wondering in a video she posted on social media. “I don’t know!” her daughter replies. “It’s not the neighbor’s dog- I know they don’t have a dog that looks like that.” Amy goes on to point out that he’s “just chilling on that porch!”

Mother and daughter believed that the dog would be leaving soon, but he didn’t. He just spent the rest of the day there, until the family decided to take him inside.

The woman was determined to find the dog’s owner, so she asked friends and neighbors about him, but they had no idea who he might belong to. Some of them had actually seen him around the neighborhood, but they didn’t know whose he was.

Amy even took him to the vet to have him checked for a chip, but, unfortunately, he wasn’t chipped.

As time went by, she realized that the dog’s owners may not be found. A month after first meeting him, she knew it was time for them to find the dog a permanent home.

The woman explained that, much as they liked him and enjoyed his company, they couldn’t keep him.

“Unfortunately, no matter how wonderful he is, he did not get along with our other pets,” Haden told Good Morning America.

Haden added that people couldn’t understand that Walker, as they named him, was not a dog that they were abandoning. He was just a dog that suddenly appeared at their porch one day, and who they could not for certain reasons adopt.

So, they started looking for a new home for Walker. And they did. Only days later, an elderly woman decided to adopt him since, as she said, he was exactly the dog she had been praying for.
