It happened while Nicole Elliot, 24-year-old mom from Georgia, was browsing on Facebook. She noticed a post from Animal Ark, a nonprofit rescue home for orphaned animals, showing the before and after grooming photos of Chester. "I was scrolling through, and saw a post with a before and after picture. I had to think hard about if I could handle this since I have a young daughter, and my Grandma just passed away. I slept on it, and woke up knowing it was the right thing to do. I knew that it would be my responsibility to make his final days the best I could. I arrived before the shelter opened, and they let me in to get him. I fell in love the moment I saw him," said Nicole to Columbus's local news station.
