Guy Wakes Up And Finds A Random Dog In Need Of A Family In His Living Room

One man’s small mistake turned out to be the start of a new life for a misfortunate dog.

When Jack Jokinen failed to close his front door properly one night, he went to bed completely unaware that he was setting off a chain of events that would result in him gaining a new family member.

The next morning, Jokinen’s wife woke him up and told him that there was a strange dog in the house.

Jokinen got up, and sure enough, there was the dog waiting in his living room.

The dog was shaking with cold and neither Jokinen nor his wife could figure out where on earth she’d come from. The door was closed, and they were slightly worried that perhaps the little dog wasn’t the only one who was hiding in their home. Then, Jokinen decided to check the security footage, and the mystery was solved.

The security footage showed that Jokinen had accidentally failed to close the front door securely. Jokinen had attempted to close the door after returning from a walk with his doggy George but didn’t notice that it failed to latch properly.

The wind later blew the door open and provided a stray pup with the perfect opportunity to escape the cold. From the tape, they learned that later that night, a poor little dog had come wandering down the street and noticed that the family’s front door had been left open.

In the video, the stray, later named Suzy, can be seen hesitating before making up her mind and venturing into the house. She’s was soaking wet from the rain and cold to the bone. She curled up inside and was then discovered by Jokinen’s wife the next morning.

Further viewing of the tape also revealed why Jokinen and his wife had found the front door closed. After Suzie was already safely inside, a good Samaritan walked past and noticed the open door.
