Human-angels

My daughter came home from class Thursday and told me "You need to come outside." I see her holding this sweet puppy. It was in the middle of our country road and she picked him up. After trying the neighbors' houses, we made a sign and put it on the stop sign at the end of the street.

We settled him into a crate where he promptly ate two bowls of food and drank a whole bowl of water. Then he curled up on his towel and slept. Poor baby.

The next morning my daughter gave him a bath and took off ticks. We took him to the vet to see if he had a microchip. He didn't. It was our hopes that he had just gotten lost but likely, he was dumped.

The vet asked if she could take him to the shelter since she was going there and if they were full, she said she would board him at the clinic until he had a home. We told her we'd keep the sign up in case someone was looking for him...but no one called. In fact someone TORE our sign off the pole. We put another up, but still no call.

Well, the good news is, that a friend of the vet wanted him and though this puppy has to wait for his out-of-state owner to pick him up, he will have a home where he is spoiled and wanted.

I sometimes get really discouraged by humans. There seems to be little regard for other life (human or animal). But as I get discouraged, I think about the string of human-angels who do what it takes to make a difference. This string of events started with a disregard of life but my daughter was the first to stand up for what was good and right. I am so proud and so thankful for the others that joined with her to make a difference.
