Now heres a rescue story!!!!!
I know a man named Mike Lingenfelter. He rescued a golden retriever from a shelter. He had a broken hip and heart worms.
Bonding with this pet was just what the doctor ordered for Mike
He had several heart attacks so bad he was put on life supports. Surviving that left him severely depressed but a dog named Dakota living in the shelter was a turn around for Mike
Dakota could warn Mike when his heart was about to act up, saving him many times. Not only him but other co-workers.
Dakota is in the Ala. Hall of Fame. The Texas Hall of Fame, The Humanitarian Award (first non-human to ever receive) Service Dog of the Year by the Delta Society, and more.
A new book just released by Mike called "the angel by my side" is a breath taking in depth story of Dakota and himself. Sadly Dakota died last year. But I do believe he was sent here to earth on a mission to get a message out to us all.
All proceeds have been donated by Mike to The Delta Society and the University of Colorado Animal Cancer Center.
How many other Dakotas are out there in shelters with great potential and talent to share with us? Thousands and thousands!
I believe this book could bring to the public in general a re-consideration about the treatment and well being of all animals.
