A co-worker of mine just came in to tell me that his family adopted a dog this past weekend and showed me her picture.
She is a 5 year old Husky/Lab mix that was at a local shelter for 5 months and her name is Rachel. (The same kill shelter that my Buddy came from)
He started telling me about what a great dog she is and how they had her out in their yard and she never left their side and doesn't wants to be out of their site for a second! (I told him to be careful because the nawtee side of the Husky might come out one day ;) )
Then... out of no where... my eyes got leaky :o
He asked why I was crying and I said I was just so happy that they saved her life.
It's just one of those things that only people here at PT would ever truly understand just how emotionally satisfying it is to hear such a happy story about an animal that at one time was unwanted.
