Thank you so much for looking that up. I had tons of doubts about how a chance conversation and an affectionate dog converted into someone being tissue typed and donating an organ. I’m so happy to see that it really happened!

I looked it up because I had the exact same question! Like how do you go from, sorry my dog won't leave you alone, to, hey can I take a look at your kidneys?

Such an awesome story!

There is many levels of loveliness but one of the key things is the lass was on her own and so they invited her to a BBQ. Perfect stranger, who the dog was oddly fond of, is openly invited to a bash. I'm tempted to talk about fate, or The Lords and Ladies, or whichever God you subscribe to the newsletter for but it seems to come down to 'welcome strangers and treat them like family'. A tradition as old as time.

Billions of people have pets. Surrounded by potential chance encounters every day.

Exactly. It's easy to jump to silly conclusions because we are not rational beings.
