Accidental Friendship
Accidental Friendship is a 2008 Hallmark Channel original film written by Anna Sandor, an awardwinning screenwriter. It is based on a true story.
In real life, Yvonne Caldwell met Officer Tami Baumann, an officer at LAPDs 77th Street Division, in 2003. It was Yvonnes three dogs that caught Tamis attention, and the overwhelming care she took of the strays. Tami, who was well known in the department for her love of animals and who had been finding homes for strays since she was a child used this connection to form a bond with Yvonne.Over time, Yvonne began to open up to Tami, relating her gradual fall into poverty, a tale of struggling with abuse and abandonment which led to a long battle with alcoholism. By mid2001, her prized SUV was her home and only possession, but that too was taken from her when she couldnt afford the fees to release it from impound after it was stolen. Fortunately, Tami was eventually able to convince Yvonne to enter rehab and embark on a program designed to save her life. ........
