MILO

A TRAPPED NEIGHBOR WAS AFRAID NO ONE WOULD HEAR HER CRIES FOR HELP. MILO DID.

- John Kelly

MILO IS A RESCUE DOG, adopted by 20-year-old Makayla Swift. But the beagle is also a rescuer. One morning in November 2021, Swift opened her front door in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Milo took off running.

Milo ran to the house across the street. He seemed unsatisfied with this house, so he ran to the one next door, Swift on his tail.

"He started scratching on the front door," Swift says. "I'm thinking, 'Why is he literally trying to break into her house?""
