Two-Year-Old St. Bernard Dog Can't Stand Being Separated From His 95-Year-Old Human Friend

Feb 27, 2020

When Dave and Edie Mazarella from Mount Vernon brought a new puppy into their lives a few years ago, they assumed they would be his only caregivers. Brody the St. Bernard had other ideas.

From the beginning, he went round to the neighbor's house, and he and the woman who lived there, Sally Reenhorn, then aged 93, became great friends too. 

Sally became a widow in 1990 and lived by herself after her spouse passed away, according to Today.

Fourteen years later, the Mazarella family moved into the house next to hers. Dave Mazarella has memories of when Sally came to his house with cookies when he and his family moved in. From then on, they had a close relationship.

One day, after the Mazarellas took a puppy into their home, their pup made an appearance at Sally’s back door. Since there was no fence between her backyard and the Mazarella’s yard, there was nothing to prevent the dog from going to Sally’s house, the video from KOMO News chronicles below.

When Sally saw Brody at her door, she gave him a few pieces of bread because that was all she had. She said he liked the bread very much, and she stated that he won’t eat dog treats if she offers them to him.

Brody is no longer a puppy, but he will always be Sally’s best friend. He has visited her often and walked her to her church. According to Dave, his neighbor and his dog would watch TV together, and if Brody didn’t see Sally at her door, he would go up to her window to look for her.

As time passed and Sally got older, she had a minor heart attack. She then went to live in a center for seniors. Months later, Brody continued to go to Sally’s house to look for her. He would sit and wait for her at the sliding glass door.

Since the Mazarellas wanted Brody and Sally to continue to see each other, they decided to take their dog with them when they visit Sally. Whenever Sally sees Brody, she comes to life, and Brody waits for Sally to pet him.

Brody and Sally have a lovely friendship. Pass this story on to your friends.
