At 19, we got married and of course took our Mia girl with us. She quickly became one of my best friends too. Sometimes when Jennings was gone, I’d pick her up for a park date. At first, Mia wasn’t anything special to me but as I stayed around I grew to love her like my own dog. Growing up, I had just about every kind of animal except for a dog.

I (Hannah) walked in when we were both 15 years old. Between dirt bike riding, chopping wood, playing sports outside or snuggling on the couch these two did pretty much everything together. Jennings and his girl Mia spent everyday together. She was what he looked forward to seeing everyday while he was at school. Thankfully, they eventually said yes and delivered on his 10th birthday with an American Golden Retriever, who Jennings decided to name Mia. When my husband was 10 years old, he relentlessly begged his parents for a golden retriever puppy.
