A full house, two nights of runway magic, and rescue dogs stealing every heart in the room, the Hill's & Tears Re-Loved fashion show at Simon's, Groot Constantia in Cape Town has wrapped with an extraordinary R250 000 raised for Tears Animal Rescue.

However, the real measure of success might just be the life-changing stories that emerged behind the scenes.

One of the most touching moments came from the event's own fashion show manager, Devon Anderson, who unexpectedly found his new family member while researching Tears ahead of the show.

Scrolling through the organisation's adoption page for design inspiration, he spotted a small, bottle-fed puppy named Levi and instantly knew he was meant to be theirs.

"I sent the picture to my partner and said: 'I think this is our puppy," says Anderson.
