In a recent tragedy, a couple was killed by a drunk driver during a police chase in California.
Aaron McDonald, 31, and Irene Jaramillo, 30, were planning a wedding for the summer. But as they were returning home from Irene’s birthday party on April 2, a drunk driver hit their car and killed them both.
Now an animal rescue group is trying to find a home for their two dogs. The dogs were like the couple’s babies, so they are confused and alone without them.

They had a Cane Corso named Apollo and a Pit Bull mix named Rocky. The two dogs have no idea where their humans have gone and they are sad to be without them.

«Irene and Aaron left Apollo and Rocky, their dear Cane Corso and Pit Bull Mix. Rocky and Apollo were so loved by Irene and Aaron, they were their babies,» the rescue wrote on Facebook.
