Pets come into our lives for different reasons. Perhaps to heal a broken heart or to simply be a loyal companion. In this week's story, it was all of the above and so much more. 

This love story belongs to Angela and her grumpy "murder cat", from Nova Scotia.

When Angela's grandfather passed away she adopted his cat named Mackenzie. She chose to document their entertaining relationship on social media. The unlikely duo gained an enormous audience, and their unconventional love story inspired the creation of a successful nonprofit organization that's receiving international attention.

And it all started with a leap of faith.
