Austin and Emily met like most other couples these days...on a dating app. Austin sent Emily a message about how their dogs would have fun together (which obviously won Emily over to keep talking to Austin). After about a week of texting, Austin and Emily had their first date at North Litchfield beach with their 3 dogs. Luckily the humans and the dogs got along great! After that, Austin and Emily saw each other basically every day. Their dogs became best friends, and now they're one big happy blended family with 2 humans, 3 dogs, and 1 cat.
