Kelly Olynyk: We go up to the house. We let Harley in and like as we shut the gate, it was kind of like, damn, are we just gonna like leave her in the backyard? Jackie Olynyk: We got in the car and we maybe drove for 10 seconds and I just started [laughter] crying. Sweet Kelly just looked at me and didn't say anything and turned around… Jackie And literally in right in front of us in the middle of the street is Harley. She like scaled the fence, jumped it. It was unreal. Jackie: I just opened my door and she resumed her position, just came around, jumped right back on my lap. Kelly: I was starting to drive back to the hotel and meanwhile this whole day Jackie's been, you know, on social media. Jackie: And then I got a phone call and it was from the owner. She was like, "Oh my gosh, you have Harley? I have been looking for her for years. Like I lost her years ago." Kelly: And so we drive over there, knock on the door, and the owner opens the door. Jackie: Harley instantly lit up when she saw her. Kelly: And Harley jumps into her arms. It just melts you to see that connection. It was an amazing sight to see. Jackie: It was emotional and I felt like I was inside of a Christmas movie.
