How far would you go to prevent tragedy? For Mario Rodriguez of Georgia, it ended up being a whopping 2,800 miles.

After Rodriguez lost his beloved pit bull, King, his wife, Sabrina, noticed a plea for help from the other side of the country that touched her heart. The Animal Care Centers of NYC was appealing for a forever home for a dog named Hickory, a jolly 2-year-old pit bull that looked uncannily like the dog the Rodriguez family had lost. But the shelter was bursting at the seams and Hickory was scheduled to be euthanized.
