There are countless tales of human-pet interactions, but some are more remarkable than others. One such story that masterfully captures the deep bond between a man and his dog is the one about Scott and Biggie.

Seeking comfort and clarity on what appeared to be an average day, Scott happened to be traveling through the charming rural community of Payette, Idaho.

He glanced at a sign that said, “German Shepherd puppies.” He was overcome with emotion at the thought of his lately deceased German Shepherd, and he had an overwhelming desire to stop.

Even though Scott hadn’t intended to add a puppy to his life at such a young age, fate had other ideas. There was Biggie the puppie.

Biggie had health issues, including a hernia, but Scott fell in love with him right away. It felt as though the cosmos had planned this exact time.

Scott made the snap decision to take Biggie home. He told GeoBeats Animals, “I want to give him the best life that I can.” with much devotion.

Biggie’s life is an absolute adventure right now. The couple enjoys outdoor pursuits together, including skiing, swimming, hiking, and even skating.

Biggie’s excitement is contagious as he sprints across wide-open spaces, his heart as expansive as the places he discovers.

Biggie’s lively demeanor betrays his puppy heart despite his size. He treasures a little ball that Scott quips is like a pacifier.

When Scott adds, “If you give your dog the best life you can, in turn, you can have the best life you can have as well,” his wisdom is evident.
