Isn’t it wonderful how sometimes destiny makes sure you end up exactly at the right place – at the right time!?
If he could speak, Taino would definitely agree with this! This tiny pup was no older than two months when he got stuck deep in the woods, hiding from a thunderstorm and not knowing what was about to happen.
On the other side, Brian Fair and Victoria Martinez, a couple from Palm Harbor, Florida, were on their way back from the beach, enjoying a pleasant hike through the woods, when they noticed some movement on the side.
The perfect timing led them to what was going to be the biggest discovery of their life! Here’s why…
Life-Saving Hike
The unplanned hike this couple took turned out to be life-saving! Taino, the scared and lost puppy, was fending for himself in the woods, not knowing when his next meal would come.
Brian spotted him moving in the bush, as if he was trying to be rescued, but he was just too scared to come out. He and Victoria soon called everyone to help them in what turned out to be the real rescue mission!
“We were going through the woods, on the left side, I saw some movement. We called everyone over, they ran to the car to get a towel and we proceeded to try to entice Taino to come out of the woods,” Brian told The Dodo.

They eventually managed to pick up Taino and take him to Victoria’s grandparents, where they were staying during their trip. They fed Taino and gave him a nice bath, and this tiny boi immediately started wagging his tail.
He even “talked” during Thanksgiving dinner, leaving everyone stunned by how fast this stray doggo adapted to the family.
It was his charming character and just the most affectionate nature that made Victoria and Brian fall in love with him. It was that particular moment that made them want to bring Taino back to their Florida home. And, home they went!
