All the animals should be respected for being one of God’s greatest gifts.

So true. I have been fostering Labradors since 2010. I caught word of an elderly lab at my local shelter. He was blind and deaf and could barely walk because of crippling arthritis. When I went to see him, I told the girl at the shelter, “I cannot take this dog.... and that’s why I have to. Nobody else is going to take him.”

I gave him 9 good months on my farm. He could not see or hear me, but he could smell me.

Came home from work one day, and he was stone cold on his blanket. He went peacefully.

Rescuing that dog was probably the best thing that I ever did.
