Not all adventures start with a map. 🗺️ Some begin with a wagging tail, sandy paws, and a spontaneous “yes.” Sam and Alannah went to the Yarmouth Shelter simply to look at dogs, but they didn’t expect to leave with one that day, let alone a Border Collie. Then came Ben, a black‑and‑white bundle of affection and fetch‑loving energy, who curled right into their hearts. 💙 That unplanned moment turned into endless road trips, beach walks, and couch cuddles – proof that the best adventures sometimes find you when you least expect them.
