Puppy Surprise Turns Into Surprise Proposal

A girlfriend received a double surprise while on a walk when she "found" her dream puppy – and a marriage proposal. Since Cara Ollmann, 24, from Missoula, Montana, moved in with her boyfriend, Jace Jarvis, 25, she had been asking to add a furry friend to their home. Getting a dog made perfect sense as the pair love spending time outdoors, hiking, and both she and Jace grew up around dogs. But little did Cara know, Jace had been on the waiting list for a golden retriever puppy. And when he received news that one was ready to collect, decided to tie the surprise into the proposal he had been planning. On April 11, the couple ran a 10k race in the morning, and had family in town a to cheer them on. After the race, the family were set to head out for a steak dinner, but Jace suggested that he and Cara head for a quick walk because his legs were sore. On the Grant Creek Trail that the couple often walk, Jace convinced Cara to head to a bridge they always cross, where the 24-year-old saw there was a puppy tied up. Cara began to think: if the dog was named Sooner, it was her puppy, as that was the name she and Jace had discussed. But when she read the 10-week-old's collar, she saw a different message, "Marry me?" Cara froze in complete shock, while Jace calmly got down on one knee and popped the question.
