Thanks for posting this. With all the turmoil going on these days, it help to have a story like this to remind us that there are amazing people in this world as well.

And what a wonderful man. Smart dog.

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story of love and dedication.

In its most honest form.



Thank you for posting, demmiblue. It would have a big, warm reception if you also posted it in du's Pet forum.

I get very down sometimes on the human race. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, "I am disappointed in my species" and I thought, yes I am too...but this story reminds me that there are many many wonderful people in this world and how blessed this dog was and the people who helped him are. Thank you for posting this. Wonderful.

I hear the sentiment out there about how we should be concentrating on rescuing humans, on human plight above all. And animal rights groups are mocked. But this story illustrates how our relationship with other animals is a large part of what makes us human. So ignoring the plight of other animals is in a way ignoring the plight of humans as well. It reminds us of what it is to be human, and what our capacity is to help other animals. And why that is such an important part of us.
