Raelynn's father, Davey, died recently of colon cancer. He was just 41 years old.

Raelynn was devastated.

When Raelynn saw Emily Beineman running by with her dog, she asked if she could pet her dog.

Raelynn explained that her father was lying inside, gave Blue a big hug, and then asked Emily if she wanted to come inside and see her dad.

Beineman clearly wasn't dressed for a funeral, but she also knew this was the last time that little girl would be able to introduce her daddy to anyone. So, she followed her gut and followed Raelynn down the aisle.

"Everyone was kind of looking around like, 'Where did she come from?' And she came in right next to Rae like they'd known each other for so long. There was that connection there," Raelynn's mom, Lacey, said.

Raelynn and Emily got together again this week and plan to stay friends forever.
