Oh Dusty, you are so handsome!!!! This story brought tears to my eyes. I can't beleive that you were to be sold for "meat only". Omg...I'm so glad that someone saw great potential in you. It sounds like you have turned out to be an awesome horse who loves competition. God bless your family for doing such a wonderful job in taking care of you. I'm sure you have given them much joy. I'm sorry to hear about you tumor and hope that you will survive for a very long time.

Congrats Dusty for being our very special Pet of the Day!!!

Oh Dusty, your story was truly soul-wrenching, amazing, inspiring, and miraculous. Your human is without a doubt your guardian angel on Earth. He/She looked into those soulful sad eyes of yours and knew all you needed was a loving touch and a second chance. You may have looked ugly that day, but Dusty I can tell you now, you are one beautiful boy. Your success at all you do with your person is a true testament to the power of love and compassion. I hope and pray that you have many many more joyous years ahead of you with your special human, you are the horse of a lifetime! Have an especially wonderful day today, dearest Dusty, and I'm sure you'll get some extra pampering and yummy treats. Congratulations on being our amazing and beautiful Pet of the Day!

:Meat only? Nah, I can't imagin you ever being an "ugly horse". Look at that picture, you are handsome as can be! What kind of cruel, unruly, pig would ever beat you, you poor thing, your start to life was so upsetting but I KNOW you are glad you have such a caring owner now. I believe that ever animal, human, and living creature deserves a second chance, and there is nothing that breaks my heart more than when someone doesn't get the oppurtunity for a second chance. I know that Dusty appreciates his owners generosity, after all, he could of easily been one of those animals that dont have a second chance.

Your owner saved the right horse. You are beautiful inside, and out.

My heart breaks for your owner, I can't imagin what she is feeling right now after finding out about your tumour. I hope that you will be okay, I really do, becuase just from reading your write up I can tell the love and TLC your owner gives you has created a bond that is impossible to break.

Congratulations on being the great, special pet of the day. I can tell that you are the best pet anyone could ask for. You would definilty be my dream horse, after all, just by looking at your picture I see your vibrant personality.

Have a great day

Hugs,

Cass
