Home / Videos / Sarah Jessica Parking
Two people found her alone in a park in a faraway town. By evening she had a vet check, her first dinner and bath with us, a new family and a bed of her own.
We found her in a park, so her name is a nod to Sarah Jessica Parker.

Two people had spotted a puppy alone in a park, in a town far away from us, and they called us for help. We got in the car right away. It was a long way there, and the whole drive we kept wondering whether she would still be there when we arrived.
The park was fenced all the way around, and she could have been anywhere inside. We searched through bushes, litter and dry leaves until we spotted her behind the fence, next to a small box with a little food that someone had left for her. She noticed us and came closer, curious and not afraid at all.
It took a walk along the fence to find a way in. The moment we did, she came running and went straight into our hands. All she seemed to want was a little love. How she ended up there alone, whether she ran away or lost her siblings, we will never know. Once she was picked up, she snuggled in and did not want to let go.
In the car she sniffed her way around the floor until we settled her in a blanket on the seat. She lay calmly and watched the world go by, looking up now and then as if to ask where we were going. All the excitement soon caught up with her, and she slept through much of the long road home, with snow on the hills outside.
Back in the city she took her first steps on the pavement and never strayed far from us. Then it was time for the vet: a few treats to break the ice, a full check from head to tail and a temperature check, which was not her favorite part. She stayed calm on the table the whole time, and afterwards she explored the clinic floor.
At home she checked every corner before dinner. She ate without wasting a second, got a second bowl with something extra tasty on top and licked it clean, then drank some fresh water. Then she met the family, two-legged and four-legged. She was a little shy at first, but a few curious sniffs soon broke the ice.
Then it was time to wash the park off. She was not sure about the water at first, but she stood bravely through warm water, two rounds of shampoo and a good rinse. After the towel came a little warm air, with a short break in between, until she was warm and dry and hardly looked like the puppy from behind the fence.
Exploring her new home, she found a puppy in the mirror and followed her new friend everywhere. Because we found her in a park, we named her Sarah Jessica Parking. At the end of a very big day she curled up in a bed of her very own, and later settled on a warm lap.
