The openness and trusting nature of animals never ceases to amaze me as does the cruelty of some humans. Thank goodness your friend was able to rescue James and thereby give this story such a happy ending. He certainly is a big fluffy boy! He's found his perfect home and he ran to you so quickly because he instinctively knew it. I wish you many, many more happy years together. James, enjoy your day as COTD. You are definitely a survivor.
