Chelsey Clark, the bartender, took care of Bam Bam after Charlie rescued her, wrapping the wet and shivering animal to keep her warm.

The sheriff took Bam Bam to Lord Whiskey Animal Shelter, where authorities were able to reunite the pup with its owner using a microchip. It turns out that Bam Bam’s real name is Molly.
Baby Molly disappeared from her owner when she slipped from her collar and was rescued by Charlie two days later.
