A security camera inside Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (MACC) recently caught the precocious dog Brenda climbing over a wall to be reunited with her best friend, Linda, in the dog kennel one door down.

Shelter workers couldn't believe their eyes.

"Me and another employee were walking through the kennels, and we walked by and we had to like triple take, like, what's going on, because two pitties came to the front of the kennel to greet us, and we were like, 'What?'" said MACC's Madison Weissenborn.

Security camera footage cracked the case.

"We knew that they had to be together," Weissenborn said.

The pair came in as strays to MACC two weeks ago, where the shelter has been near capacity. Weissenborn says adoptions are down and surrenders are up 20% from 2022, which was a record-setting year.

Now, MACC workers say the inseparable strays won't ever be apart again, because a new owner just adopted them both.
