These are always touching stories, when people rescue dogs and cats.  I can’t watch that animal planet stuff or even those difficult commercials most of the time – I would rescue each and every one of them and it breaks my heart that I can’t.  Can’t go to an animal shelter for the same reason.  Al has enough trouble with one cat (not ours) and one dog (ours) and he prefers the cat because he’s a stick-in-the-mud, like the cat.  (To be fair, he just is tired of the neediness…I can understand that, but I’m needy too so I can relate…)

This one particularly touched me, though.  I’m not going to describe it, you can watch it and it is really lovely, but what struck me is the man who rescued the dog and her pups.  He exhibits the best we humans can be.  Gentleness. Compassion.  Persistence. Cleverness. Creativity.  Kindness.   It makes me wish I was doing what he is doing, but alas I am commissioned to be the same for humans who are sick.  Like dogs, some of them are grateful and give me much in return, some refuse my help and growl at me as I leave.

It doesn’t really matter who you are or what you’re doing or how you make your living.  This guy is a nice example of how to BE in your world.

Oh and the puppies are damn cute, too.  Eyes not even open.  So cute it hurts.  Enjoy the video.
