This is Rufus and Ziggy. Rufus was adopted by the Reiff family in 2016 from the San Francisco SPCA. He lived with the family almost 10 years before unexpectedly passing away in April of this year. That night, Jillian Reiff saw a dog on @muttvillesf who stopped her mid-scroll. “His face was so identical to Rufus at first glance I thought it WAS him,” she wrote of Ziggy. She agonized over the photo, then decided to put in an adoption application. Four days later, she and her kids went to meet Ziggy and adopted him. Jillian was “convinced they were somehow cosmically intertwined; that Rufus had somehow put Ziggy in our path.” That connection alone was a comforting thought, but in the months that followed, similarities emerged between Ziggy and the late Rufus that were impossible to ignore: the way they walked, the way they loved their human siblings, and even the way they “talk” and howl like wolves. Jillian ordered a DNA test to prove they were the same mix of breeds, but the results turned out to be so much more. “Ziggy is our beloved Rufus’ LITERAL father,” Jillian wrote. “The statistical probability of two dogs over 15, a decade and hundreds of miles apart, being a direct child/parent bloodline and both adopted by the same family is one in millions. There is no science I can find to explain this, only kismet.” 14/10 for all

@weratedogs - Rufus was actually almost 16 when he died! So Ziggy is at least 16 and some change!

This is sooo sweet. This exact thing happened with our dog and her mother. Lost our first dog tragically in an accident and then happened upon a post of a dog that looked identical, who we adopted and discovered was her mother. The man who had owned the mother had passed away on the same day as our dog.

Im so sure dogs after passing away help you somehow to find a dog that can help you mourn after them and be happy again, after my dog died, i found my current dog by chance (i didn't want to look for another dog at that time) and it was identical to the plushie i slept with every night while mourning for my dog after she had to spend her nights in the hospital and after passing away
