'Borrowed' By Workers For An Afternoon, Marlowe Found His Forever Home

BRANFORD, CT — Recently, workers from the town's Department of Public Works stopped by Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter to "borrow a dog." The idea was to bring the pup to bring to the public works building for the afternoon to hang out with staff while they were doing paperwork, the Shelter posted to Facebook.

"This is not only great for the employees, but it is also great for shelter dogs to get the exposure to new people and new things," Shelter staff posted. "And you know what else happened by being there?"

What happened is that Marlowe, the dog that spent the afternoon with workers, "found himself a forever home."

"Ed, who has been working at the Public Works Department for years, fell in love with Marlowe while he was visiting," the Shelter noted on Facebook. Once he finished his shift, "Ed stopped by to spend more time with Marlowe."

They had an "instant connection," it was noted.

So Marlowe said goodbye to the Shelter and went home to his new family.

"Congratulations to Marlowe and Ed and his family on their new addition."
