One day, Alyssa and Zachary stumbled upon a Facebook post from Trenton Animals Rock, featuring dogs in need of loving homes. 

As they scrolled through the pictures, one dog caught their eye — a striking Chow Chow/Shar Pei mix named Max. 

But what made their hearts skip a beat was the uncanny resemblance Max bore to Zachary’s own dog, Arthur.

Alyssa and Zack drove five hours to the shelter in Trenton, New Jersey, and adopted Max, giving him a new name — Wes. 

As Wes entered the welcoming embrace of his new home, a heartwarming sight unfolded before the couple’s eyes. 

Like two puzzle pieces finding their perfect fit, Wes and Arthur embarked on a journey of friendship. 

Though a bit hesitant at first, it didn’t take long for the magic of companionship to work its spell. Before they knew it, Wes and Arthur were inseparable. 

They did everything together — sleeping, walking, and playing. 

Their personalities were somewhat different, but they complemented each other perfectly and became the best of friends. 

The couple often referred to them as the “same dog in a different font” due to their striking resemblance and similar mannerisms.

Curiosity led Alyssa and Zack to get DNA test kits for both Wes and Arthur.

The test results revealed that Wes and Arthur were not just lookalikes — they were actually brothers! 

The couple was amazed when they realized this surprising discovery.
