Their Lucky Day

These three little mutts made the news yesterday and stole my friend Jill's heart. The community email listed four puppies and one mama dog had been found. A student is seeing to the mama and one puppy, having enclosed them in a campus garden behind deer fencing. These three, however, were left to fend for themselves until Jill and her husband took them. They are now comfortably housed in their garden and have been treated by the local house-calls vet.

Living in a community that advertises runaway and tossed-away dogs, old Macs free to the first-taker, chicken controversies (http://savesewaneechickens.blogspot.com/), citizens' health challenges, and the like is a refreshing change for a person raised in the city.

I am reminded that every dog has its day. Let's just hope some big-hearted folks at tomorrow's annual dog show will give these dogs their hearts.
