Just try to tell me they don’t have emotions or little hearts that can break, or be thrilled with joy.

Just try. See if I believe that....

I hope more people are inspired to adopt a loving, deserving animal in 2016!

Our dog, Corky, was a rescue do when we got him at 10 weeks. He's very attached to my wife because she brought him home as a small puppy. He's a year and a half now old and has the run of our 30 acre cattle farm. But his favorite thing to do is to go to our lake house 10 miles away and swim in the lake. It's the only time he's ever been in a car..my wife's car... when she takes him over there.

Well, now he has separation anxiety when he sees her leaving in the car and hasn't been asked to go along. He will cry like a baby as he watches her leave in the car without him. But when she comes home, you can actually see a smile on his face when he sees her, so happy that she has returned. He'll sit down next to her and lean against her looking for affection after her absence.

He is such a good dog and companion to us. We have had many dogs and breeds of dogs over our 40 year marriage and each one has their own personality and character, just like people. Dogs really do have unique personalities and show the same range of emotions as humans do.
