“When you look at Bandit, if he was human, he’s me.”

“Going through what I went through growing up, life wasn’t easy but you just gotta continue going forward. The things I read about Bandit, the videos we saw, he kind of had the same mindset that I had,” Darrell shared.

The day Darrell and Sue went to pick up Bandit from the jail, WSB-TV was there to capture the moment. They shared their initial concerns about adopting Bandit before deciding to provide him with his forever home.

“This is something that would motivate Darrell and it would help Bandit to know he’s not alone out there,” Sue commented.

Despite it being an amazing day for Bandit and his new family, there was some sadness going around. His jail handlers will miss the companionship of the sweet dog. His more recent handler, Tredo, shared:

“As soon as I found out he’s being adopted, I’ve been trying to love him more. Just, that’s my friend.”

Bandit rolled out of the jail for the last time next to his new mom and dad. And, another surprise was in store for him….when he gets to his new home, he’ll meet his new fur siblings. Such a great rescue story.
