Both of them have been recently hurt. Brody was shot 18
times with a BB gun, and Kailey lost her best friend and life-long dog,
Woodrow.
"When I lost Woodrow, I thought I lost half my heart.
Now I got that other half back," Kailey said with a smile you could see
from the moon.
Woodrow died two months ago and left Kailey devastated.
According to her mother Carla, "It broke her heart, and the hardest thing
to see as a parent is your child hurt. Brody is actually piecing that heart
back together for her."
The match seemed hand-crafted in heaven. Carla works at the
pet hospital Brody was taken to when officers discovered he'd been shot. Kailey
was one of the first people to see him, before he became a viral star on the
internet.
"The first time she met him she looked in his eyes and
said he reminded her of Woodrow, and I knew right then that she had picked her
puppy," Carla said.
Brody was hurt, and Kailey was hurt. Now the two are
helping each other recover.
X-rays show that the BB's are still inside Brody, but
officials said he is doing okay. He is expected to make a full recovery.
De'Monte Ty'Juan Douglas, 17, is charged with felony first
degree cruelty to animals. A 14-year-old was also petitioned to family court
and released to his parents pending that court appearance. His name has not
been released due to his age.
Douglas was in court Wednesday morning. His bond was set at
$5,000.
Since the incident, Brody has brought in attention from all
over the country.
Dr. Jay Hreiz said the hospital has been getting “hundreds
of calls a day about him.”
