WICHITA, KS (KCTV) - Lady has had a tough life in recent months, but a Florida heiress who loves animals is vowing to make the lab's golden years truly happy.
Lab gets fairytale ending after 2 families reject dog Lady is getting use to her new home in Florida after a wealthy heiress rescued her from a Kansas shelter. Lady's story is worthy of a Hollywood movie. The grizzled black lab made national headlines when she walked 30 miles to return home to owners who had given her up and refused to take her back.
As word spread on social media, heartbroken dog fans swamped the Chautauqua County Animal Shelter telephone line as they sought to adopt the older dog.
After learning of her plight, Wrigley Gum heiress Helen Rich Rosburg flew a private jet to Kansas on Thursday to whisk the dog to her Florida sanctuary for neglected animals.

Him finding his way home even someone checking his collar are not the only options.
You've got a well cared for pet in an upscale neighborhood. The odds are very high the owners will be out there putting up posters and notices, and doing probably a lot more stuff than I can think of so they can get their big fella back home!
I love dogs...
Other animals too.
I have zero tolerance for those who’d intentionally harm or neglect them.
Wow.
If that was my dog, she’d by eating nothing but the finest cuts of beef for the rest of her life.
The more I get to know people.....the more I like dogs!!
That Lab looks almost identical to our 12 year old Sarah, although she has some Dalmatian in her.
I just love this story. If I had one wish it would be to be like the woman who adopted him.
I thought the new owner lived in Odessa, TX now?
Sweet looking dog!
There is truly a special place in Hell for people who abandon a dog.
!@%!%%$%!& POS’s...
God bless the Wrigley lady.

“Dogs Are The Best!”
Any person, Any Race, Any RELIGION that would be cruel to a domesticated dog...is a Person-Race-RELIGION that deserves the harshest condemnation.
She looks a lot like my old Jack; except she’s a she and my Jacks a he.
I would have adopted her in half a heartbeat, she would fit right in with our pack.
Glad she got a good home, hopefully with lots of love.
Only regrets I have ever had with my older adoptee’s, is that they have to go to the Rainbow Bridge without me.
Breaks my heart every time; but I am so stupid, I just keep doing it.
My wife says I am just a sucker for “THAT LOOK”, guess she’s right.
I enjoy your posts when I catch them.
I was a dog guy all of my life, but found 2 rescue cats a few years apart. I actually invited one in, one day, and she promptly made herself at home.
People abusing animals should be hanged.
They need us, and we need them.
Screw you. It is her money.
“Screw you. It is her money.”
Did I say it was not her money, jackass? Don’t both answering, we both know I did not.
I just hope it’s the right place for Lady.
I wouldn’t worry too much about that. Ms. Rosburg has taken a personal interest in her and promised she’ll have as good a life as she can give her.
