(KARE 11<\/a>) When you work as an animal control officer there is no shortage of sad stories that tug at your heart.<\/p>\n

Far too many to write a happy ending for each one.<\/p>\n

When Eagan Animal Control Officer Bob Kent recently was dispatched on a call, he had no idea that the dirty, emaciated stray he picked up would move from his truck\u2026 into the city impound\u2026 and then his home. Kent has rescued dozens of dogs, but there was just something special about Woody, a young pit bull with an undeniably sweet disposition. And as it would happen, the timing was pretty good too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put our dog down early August,\u201d Bob explained. \u201cWe were not so much in the market for one, but we did have a vacancy at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kent kept checking on Woody, and it soon became apparent the two were destined to be permanent pals. \u201cHe came in, he was dirty, he was starving, he was sick\u2026 but I just knew. I guess you can\u2019t really put it into words, It\u2019s just a feeling you get for him. He (Woody) found a place in our hearts, as well as our home.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
