Humane Society dog a hero after saving near-frozen cat

Philip Gonzalez was Ginny's owner. I met him and Ginny years ago at a cat adopt-a-thon at Madison Square Garden. Philip was in an industrial accident and could no longer work. He became depressed and suicidal when his counselor suggested he go to the pound and adopt a buddy. Ginny picked him. It was love at first sight. They were inseparable and yes, he was devastated and still IS that he lost her. She was a truly amazing dog who saved MANY cats and kittens from death. I guess God passed along Ginny's responsibilities to Cleo.

Thank you for the information, moosmom. I hope he made enough money from those books to keep him going because I know that at the time of the article he was having a tough time because of all the cats Ginny kept finding for him. I hope that he can open himself up to another dog, for companionship, although I doubt he will get another like Ginny.
