Huey was found on the side of the road by one of Alex’s flight instructors. Alex decided to go “look at the puppy”, but Miranda knew Alex would be coming home with a six-week-old puppy. Though they couldn’t agree on a name at first, they could agree he was the perfect addition to the family. For those who don’t know, a ‘Huey’ is an Army helicopter renowned for its durability and protection.
