I adopted an adult shelter dog 11 years ago. I filled out an application and had to wait a week to take her home. I went to see her every day during my lunch hour. I bought her a collar and one day when I visited her I put it on for sizing. Once I got the collar out of my purse she was so excited. At one time she had been in a home and she realized what that collar meant. I will never forget the excitement in her eyes when she saw that collar. She is sleeping at my feet right now.

I am 71 years old, and beginning about age 30 I made it a point of only having rescue dogs. One year ago my daughter found a stray that was freezing, starving and could hardly walk due to hair so badly knotted. I kept him, and he has become a fantastic companion, more intelligent than many humans. He never lets me get out of his sight, when I do he comes looking for me. He is family, and treated as such

It's a wonder any animal survives this human-centric world of ours. Fortunately, there are people who recognize that animals have the right to live their own best life without the ignorance, apathy, arrogance, and frequent horrific treatment by humans. But along with the empathy and sympathy, worry and concern, those people who voice their feelings about not being able to 'solve the problem,' deal with the frustration of knowing all their efforts and concerns do not make a dent in the need they recognize on a daily basis. It makes their hearts hurt. Voicing the pain they feel may bring them just a tiny bit of relief. Why will you deny them that?

** Benny Update ** Benny is doing just fine. He is living the life that every dog should live - loved and well cared for. His road traveled, at least to us his current owners post this video, was long and no doubt questionable at times. But fortunately for him/us his loving family, our roads intersected with one another. Benny will turn 4-years old this year. He has filled out nicely weight wise whilst adjusting to his "true" forever home. His black coat has turned into the most beautiful brindle color you ever seen - matching in part his gorgeous brown eyes. Benny spends his days lounging around the house - sleeping on any bed or couch he wishes, hanging out in his large fenced-in yard chasing squirrels, taking car rides, and whenever he can get it, getting his belly scratched or rubbed. We hug and kiss Benjamin every day endlessly, and tell him how lucky that he is, but truthfully it is us his adoptive family who are the lucky ones.

I did this a decade ago with my American Bulldog who was very near to being put down after 6 months and no takers, she was only 1 and so beautiful. The whole corridor erupted with barking from 20+ cages as a worker brought a dog in from exercise. My Missy was the only dog completely silent and just preferred to look through the bars... that was the spark that ignited my love for her and I just melted. A week later after her shots and other basic treatments, I finally got to take her to her forever home!. Now she is tucked up in bed at the ripe age of 11 years old, and very happy with 5 mile a day walks (I'm disabled with a very fast, off road, mobility scooter) and she loves every minute of being free and off the lead. She is very obedient and can learn anything you throw at her extremely fast. I couldn't ask for a better addition to my family, a true gentle sweetie who still gets people crossing the road if we are coming towards them, all by assuming she is somehow nasty just because she is a big stocky dog. When you get a dog, you are setting yourself up for heartache immediately when their lifespan is average 1/5th of a human lifespan. But even though it will break me for a long time, I wont ever regret bringing her home. So my advice is look beyond physical appearance, most bigger dogs are rarely how they look, most are big softies. Big dogs are rarely nasty, only poor home structure and mistreatment make them aggressive, like chavs with a studded collar just to feel like a man instead of the little boys they really are inside.
