She was 14 when her dog, Chloe had to move to another home for reasons beyond Nicole's control. 

Her grandmother gave her the puppy, complete with a pink bow when she was ten years old and they became best friends.You can imagine her sadness when Chloe was forced to move. Even remembering Chloe's birthday every year that passed! 

Little did she know, 7 years later they would be reunited in the most beautiful way!

Responding to a post on Facebook, she adopted an old, grey dog that looked startlingly familiar! Speaking to Today.com she said "It just reminded me of my old dog. So I decided to take her in, the only difference, is she's smaller and doesn't have teeth."
