When Brianna first laid eyes on Opal, she couldn’t help but feel a deep compassion for the injured dog. Her heart immediately told her that she wanted to provide a safe haven for Opal, so she decided to become her foster mom.

Opal’s past will forever remain a mystery to Brianna. One of her visible injuries was a broken jaw, which required surgical repair. Despite being muzzled and having her jaw wired shut, this sweet pit bull still radiated love and affection. Brianna speculates that Opal may have been a stray who was hit by a car, but the true story of her past will always remain with her.

Upon arriving at her foster home, Opal’s immediate desire was to play with Duke, the other dog in the house. It was a case of friendship at first sight between Opal and Duke, but due to Opal’s injuries, they had to be separated. The two dogs were deeply unhappy with the situation, crying and attempting to be together even through Opal’s recovery period.

Their separation, however, only lasted three days because of their undeniable longing to be together. Once reunited, they wasted no time and immediately started cuddling. Duke displayed remarkable gentleness towards his new foster sister, understanding the need to be cautious due to Opal’s injuries.

It would be quite some time before they could engage in the play they both desired, but Duke proved to be a patient companion. Opal had to wear her muzzle for five long months until the day finally came when the vet cleared her to resume a normal life. To celebrate her newfound freedom, Opal was treated to a trip to the pet store and enjoyed her first playdate with Duke. After enduring so much, she was overjoyed to embrace her second chance at life.

Throughout Opal’s recovery journey, one thing became abundantly clear—Duke and Opal were destined to be best friends. Having experienced the trials and tribulations together, Brianna knew it was impossible to separate the two. As a result, she made the heartfelt decision to adopt Opal. With her adoption, Opal found her forever home surrounded by a loving family and her devoted best friend, Duke. After enduring pain and suffering, Opal finally had the chance to live a life filled with happiness.
