Don't believe just in chances. Believe in making Good things happen.

Pets are family.
We hear this all the time.
But an old Italian quote says that " Between saying it and doing it there is the sea in the middle".
What does that mean? That way too many times we preach good but we do not correspond what we say. Thanks Dog that does not apply to everyone.
I treat my dogs like royal family. Ask my husband, they get the best spot in the couch at Football time. My friends do the same.
However there is another side to the story. A story that does not need many words.
The look in the faces of those pets that are left or better dumped at local shelters all over USA speak volumes about their faith and destiny.
Not everyone in this country knows that shelters do kill within short from the entrance of the animal through their doors. And many of those who are aware of it just scroll their shoulders and say " So what?? "
In my honest mind I have a vision that crosses my mind and makes sense ultimately for its purpose. Let's say for instance that we all started, each of us, to CARE and to promote some sort of education, action or sense of responsibility, in our own little way, to make good things happen.
Let's say we go to a city shelter and meet a dog, take a picture of that creature, show it around, ask for urgent adoption or rescue before it's too late. Let's keep imagining that this dog, a Pittbull for example, whose name is Dumplin is set to be killed and the same morning she is about to go for her last walk two crazy women decide that this has NOT to happen. They start contacting every single person they know or can think of, they write, they beg, they believe that something can be done and with this object in mind they work their magic to pull Dumplin to safety. One hour later she would be gone. One hour made the difference, sometimes one minute makes the difference when it comes to life or death matters. For all of us. ONE is just ONE.
One is love, one is our life.
With that in mind these two crazy women made a huge difference.
But what happens later in Dumplin's life is the proof that good things happen to those who act in good faith and that good actions have lots of positive repercussions in other lives.
She was first fostered by the loving lady who saved her life, got her name changed to Allie Beth and, fast forward, she then found her forever family.
Some moons and skies later Allie Beth is now a certified therapy dog and she is at service of those in need who are very grateful for the gift she is giving to them: the precious, priceless gift of love.

This story shows us, once again, that doing good, promoting love, care, educate to embrace diversity and respect others will lead to more actions of care , love, respect like a domino effect.
Sharing good intentions, words, feelings, is key if we wish for a better future where people can live more in peace according to a sense of ethics, responsibility and respect.
If we teach for example our children to love nature, animals, to care for them we will show them, from the very origin, the importance to embrace others.  The ultimate result will show its fruits in a growing society that is not made of selfishness or violence, but that finds new solid roots in practicing tolerance, mutual understanding and respect. By doing that we promote a more healthy lifestyle both emotionally and physically.
Allie Beth's story is an inspiring example of what the single will of two people with a great heart, faith and determination were able to achieve. What is truly amazing is the great, positive impact that saving that single pet's life had in many other countless lives. Allie Beth is now putting her life and skills at good service for people in need.
She was adopted by a loving family and short later became a service dog at the local Hospital.
She even made the news.
Allie Beth was at first dumped by some people who did not value at all her life.
She was very lucky that on a cold morning two women from the opposite side of the world saw her face and joined together to make a difference, believing that where there is a will there truly is a way and that life is a gift and as such each life should be valued.
Her story proves us what we have always believed in:
that we GIVE LIFE AND WE FIND LOVE.
