Seven men celebrating a bachelor party in Kentucky each went home with a surprise: puppies!

This October Kenny Jacobson and his groomsmen got together at a cabin in southern Kentucky to celebrate his upcoming nuptials. On their third morning, they noticed a stray dog outside their rented cabin.

"She was scrawny and shaggy looking, but a sweetheart," said Will Perkins.

Swayed by her soulful eyes, the men gave her food and water. They were soon rewarded with her wagging tail.

Later that evening, Lucas Hewitt heard whining in the woods. He followed the sound where he found six hungry pups.

Their beer fund quickly turned to dog food money as the men worked to clean and care for the mother and her babies. They washed, fed, and prepared beds for them in the already-crowded cabin.

But the rescue didn't stop there. When the bachelor party was finished, the groom and groomsmen all took home a puppy. Seven dogs and seven men. "It felt like fate." Wesley Harris summed it up nicely, saying, "We were in the right place at the right time."

When asked how his wife-to-be felt about him bringing home a dog from his bachelor party, Kenny laughed and said, "We’ll see. It's a surprise."

You could say these men have a knack for coming to the rescue wherever they are. The groom and groomsmen who live in different parts of the world met last year after each assisted during an emergency on a flight to Tampa, when one of the passengers gave birth prematurely. They plan to maintain communication online and hope to one day reunite the puppies on another vacation.
