Flora and Dexter made an unlikely couple. At somewhere around 100 pounds, Flora the dog towered over Dexter the cat. The thing is that Flora didn’t do much towering. She was usually seen cuddled up to her best friend. They were inseparable. But finally, Dexter took a road that Flora couldn’t follow. At 22 years old, the grand old cat died. And Flora’s family, the Williams’ of Kanab, Utah, thought the dog might never get over it.
"Flora was beyond heart-broken," mom Jill Williams says, "She spent many weeks outside. It was really sad." You couldn’t blame Flora for having emotional problems. Her first home was a bad situation. She was rescued by Best Friends Animal Society — and then adopted by the Williams family. "She was very shy but over time, became the queen of our family," Williams says. "And her calm, sweet personality was just what our family needed." And Dexter, also a rescue, was a big part of that family.
When the cat died, the Williams family wasted no time trying to patch that cat-shaped hole in Flora’s heart. They adopted two young cats from Best Friends Animal Society. The trouble is that they weren’t quite the cuddling kind — at least not cuddlesome enough for Flora. The giant dog still ached for her old friend because of a 15-year friendship.
