The two got along well right away, and Hallee began paying regular visits to Rambo.
He was a big adult dog, which contributed to the difficulty of finding him a home, but all he wanted was to be showered with love.

To the Stillwater News Press, Hallee stated:

He was silent. Numerous dogs would bark, but he would just sit there. He has a huge cuddly side. He views himself as a gigantic lap dog.

Hallee started sending her parents movies and pictures as she got more and more attached to Rambo. Then, one day, her mother Jessica realized something.
She outlined the following to the news source:

“I just had a feeling he belonged here. I’ve said “No” enough times. He seems like a member of our family.

Hallee’s parents gave her the two-year-old Rambo as an adoption gift for Christmas without her knowledge. However, the Humane Society aided and kept the adoption a secret because the holiday wasn’t until a few weeks away.

Then came the depressing day when Hallee discovered her canine companion had been adopted. Her father Lance claimed that “she was broken. “. Of course, Hallee had no idea who it was.

Hallee finally opens the door with her mother’s guidance and is overcome with shock at what she sees. She had anticipated never seeing the dog again. When her friend is in their yard, Hallee, who is overwhelmed, starts crying. Dad then lets go of the leash, and the dog runs lovingly to his new owner.

Hallee can’t control her tears, so the scene is heartbreaking. Opening the door, more family members allow Rambo to enter the room. Hallee must discover one solution, though. She asks as she turns to face the camera. Is she mine? Hallee continues to cry after learning that “yes,” she was the new owner of Rambo.
