[COLOR=Black]Thats an awesome story and so so true! We rescued our first boxer last Thanksgiving but he was so sick and when he crossed the rainbow bridge we thought about buying from a breeder...that is until we saw Bower. Look at this picture and tell me how this little guy got overlooked so much he was almost put to sleep himself?

Exactly what we said....so we may now have a "mutt" BUT I wouldn't change it for the world...

How encouraging ! ... It reminds me of one of my favourite sayings:

Adopoting just one dog won't change the world, but the world certainly will change for that one dog.

P.S. Not that it's bad to adopt more than one dog...

Ahh, yes, how we would love to save them all!! Sometimes it is so disheartening. There is always "one more". However, it does make your heart feel good that you can help save "some".

I should print that and hang it on my fridge so that I read it everyday and maybe one day I'll start believing it and stop feeling so guilty for not being able to save every animal that I know needs help.

I copied and printed this beautiful story and will keep one here at work and one at home. I really needed this today as I have become so discouraged. I feed two colonies daily and I have 10 of my own and sometimes it is overwhelming. I am working on spaying and neutering each cat, but I can only do one at because of the expense. I will keep plugging away and try to remember that I am making a difference. Good daily food, water and loving (for those that trust me) is far better than living off the land with no one to love them and care for them. Thanks for this story.
