Just like humans, dog soulmates always want to be together. Some dogs may have a rough start in life, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t end up with luck on their side. A perfect example of this would be Potato, Tate for short.
Tate was a street puppy before her human parents adopted her. After finding her forever family, Tate also found her forever love, her canine “Soulmate”, Vernon.
Hailee Graham and her spouse adopted Tate around the same time their next-door neighbor got their dog, Vernon. Tate and Vernon were around the same age and both are large breed dogs with a love of playing outdoors.
In spite of the tall fence that separates their back yards, they learned of each other’s presence soon after they became neighbors.

Tate and Vernon immediately clicked. They did everything they could to get closer to each other in any way that they could. Graham said that she once caught the two dogs digging a tunnel to be together.
Regardless of what the humans tried, they couldn’t keep the two dogs apart. Remember, soulmates always want to be together and they don’t give up easily.
Graham racked her brain and initially thought of scheduling a regular play date for Tate and Vernon. However, with a little more effort, she eventually came up with a much better idea. She came up with the brilliant idea of putting a doggy door in the fence.

Over the weekend, they redesigned their backyard fence to have a large canine door. Tate couldn’t wait for the entry to be completed and Vernon was just as excited.
Tate and Vernon can’t be happier now that they have ready access to each other anytime they want.
While the setup works for them, Graham admits that this idea may not be for everyone. However, she’s optimistic that this would become an inspiration to other like-minded pet owners.
Graham says that she’s hoping that this would encourage people to be friendlier with their neighbors and to have a better sense of community.
