What a wonderfully written tribute to your very special girl, Raven! I cried all the way through! Raven is so blessed to have such a very loving and caring Mommy!

I was especially moved as my Cody is a resuced Husky (x) As a matter of fact, the shelter from which she was adopted ( a large county kill shelter) is doing a local TV special...a 10 year anniversary update on "happy tails" adoption stories. They asked if Cody and I would like to be on the show as Cody was one of their highlighted doggies, almost 10 years ago! She too took many months of patient loving to learn to trust again. She wouldn't lift her head, make eye contact. She was found tied to a goal post, entangled in a soccer net. She had her puppies there; all had died but one I saw her adoption poster in my local supermarket...it was titled, "Dog Unwanted." That was it! I just had to help this special girl. In the end, it was my Lab Jing who took her by the paw and taught her how to bark, play, enjoy food, trust humans and just enjoy being a dog!

Thank you for sharing Raven's story with us! She's a very special and beautiful girl!
