A HUSBAND - SURPRISES HIS WIFE
Reader's Digest US
|February/March 2026
Andrew Duhe wanted to do something special to celebrate the 40th birthday of his wife, Jennifer Duhe, and jewelry or flowers wouldn't cut it.
The couple, who work for the Navy and have three children, find the time to volunteer every weekend at Chesapeake Animal Services in Chesapeake, Virginia. It was during one of those visits that Andrew hit on the perfect idea: The animal shelter had 40 dog kennels that were always full. What if he were to pay the $110 adoption fees for all 40 dogs?
Although it would cost $4,400 to cover the costs of spaying/neutering, microchipping and vaccinating 40 dogs, Andrew knew the gift would mean more to his wife than anything he could buy in a store.
They had recently lost one of their three beloved dogs, Sierra, and he thought sponsoring the adoptions to help so many shelter dogs find forever homes would help cheer Jennifer up.
