Family adopts shelter dog and learns he’s the father of their late pup
Family get amazing surprise after adopting shelter dog
- A Californian family, grieving the unexpected death of their dog Rufus, adopted a new senior dog named Ziggy from a San Francisco rescue.
- Days after Rufus's passing, the family noticed Ziggy's striking resemblance to their late pet, including similar markings and behaviours.
- Prompted by these similarities, Jillian Reiff, who had previously DNA tested Rufus, decided to have Ziggy's DNA analysed.
- The DNA test results astonishingly revealed that Ziggy was the biological father of their recently deceased dog, Rufus.
- Further details suggest a potential past connection, as both dogs were neutered at the same San Francisco SPCA in the same week.
