A Cabin in the Woods

Mitchell Craddock and his friends were ready for a fun bachelor party weekend. They traveled from Michigan to Tennessee to enjoy five days in a cozy cabin and explore the great outdoors on ATVs, celebrating Mitchell's upcoming wedding.

The Surprising Guest

On their first morning in the cabin, while cooking breakfast with the door wide open, something unexpected happened. A dog appeared! She sat just outside, happily accepting any food and water they offered. The guys quickly named her Annie and she became a part of their group.

The Discovery

Annie kept running back and forth to a spot outside, making the men curious. They decided to follow her and discovered something amazing—a puppy peeking out from a little den! Annie wasn't alone. After digging around, they found a total of seven puppies.

A Change in Plans

Realizing Annie was a stray, the group knew they couldn't just leave them there. So, they brought Annie and the puppies back to the cabin. The place transformed from a bachelor pad to a bustling puppy daycare, and the planned ATV adventures turned into puppy baths and cuddles.

New Family Members

Soon, their beer fund shifted to a puppy food fund. By the end of the trip, Annie was adopted by Mitchell's grandparents, and each puppy found a home with a groomsman or family member. This meant the puppies stayed connected, growing up together even after everyone went home.

Happily Ever After

Today, Annie and her puppies are all grown up and thriving. They even get to see each other sometimes, keeping the memory of their surprise bachelor party appearance alive.
