“I told her she’d hit the jackpot.”
During a routine walk with his dog Lexy, Reddit user Disastrous-Aspect569 (D.A.) experienced an unexpected twist that forever altered their usual route.
As they strolled past a roadside bush, Lexy suddenly became captivated by something hidden within. Upon closer inspection, D.A. discovered that she had found a discarded pork chop nestled at the base of the bush.
“I noticed her sniffing around the bush with unusual interest, and when I saw her licking something, I knew she had found a little treasure,” D.A. shared. “When I realized it was a pork chop, I couldn’t help but laugh and tell her she’d struck gold.”
The universe had gifted Lexy a surprise feast, which she savored with delight. However, the discovery left Lexy with a lingering hope that this bush held more secrets.
From that day on, every time D.A. and Lexy approached the bush, she would eagerly search for more pork chops.
“Watching her inspect that bush became a bit like seeing an old friend buy a lottery ticket from the same place they once won,” D.A. remarked. “She did it for years, never losing hope.”
Unfortunately, despite Lexy’s persistent checks, the bush never offered up another pork chop.
That is, until one fateful day.
A decade has passed since Lexy left us, her endless wandering through the wilderness finally coming to rest—not through mere chance, but through the devotion of the person who cherished her above all else.
D.A. wouldn’t have wished it any other way.
“She was truly my closest companion,” he reflected.
