A Florida police officer had an amazing day at work not too long ago when he visited an animal shelter in response to a routine call and ended up adopting a black and white pit bull puppy named Kylo. Officer Marcus Montgomery went to the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Fort Walton Beach to handle a situation involving a former shelter employee. As Marcus was finishing up his investigation, he noticed the adorable Kylo being held by one of the employees.
Florida police officer Marcus Montgomery’s heart was stolen at first bark. While on duty responding to a call at a nearby animal shelter, he crossed paths with Kylo, an irresistible pit bull puppy. Unable to resist the pup’s charm, Marcus decided to bring him home.
Goodnight wishes: Kylo was left in a box at the rear entrance of the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society in Fort Walton Beach, left to find his own way in the world.
The power is strong: Kylo and Marcus’ other dog, Vader, are both named after characters from Star Wars. Marcus recalled their first encounter, noting that Kylo looked tired with heavy eyes and constant yawning. He shared that Kylo was found at the back door of the shelter during his investigation, where a supervisor heard the puppy crying and found it in a box outside. Despite warning the supervisor not to bring Kylo inside, Marcus couldn’t resist taking him home after seeing him from a distance.
Good pals: Marcus shared that his senior canine Vader absolutely adores frolicking with and getting to know unfamiliar furry friends.
Marcus expressed concern that people may overlook Kylo due to his breed, which requires extra responsibility. However, others in the household are excited about the new addition, including the officer’s girlfriend Kristen Martin, who has another rescue pit bull named Vader. Vader, named after a Star Wars villain, is thrilled to have a new playmate. Vader was also once overlooked at a shelter, with many people ignoring him. Despite knowing the challenges of owning a pit bull like Kylo, the Montgomery family welcomed him into their home. Now, Kylo spends his days playing and napping with his big brother Vader.
