ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. – A wagging tail, cries of joy, and plenty of kisses was all a healthy pup could give to the Thornton teen who saved his life – twice!
Justine Haines, 15, was reunited with the Chihuahua mix Tuesday morning. She picked up Chance from the Adams County Animal Shelter, where it was under quarantine for possible rabies exposure.
