OLD STRAY DOG WINS 'THE LOTTERY'
Written by Nady Tzortzidou of Athens, Greece
A couple of years ago, some colleagues informed me of a little stray griffon-like dog, wandering outside the company where I worked. She seemed very sick and didn’t respond to anything.
She must have been in the streets for so long as her fur was hanging from her skin in balls. She was extremely dirty and smelly, yet had the sweetest and most gentle eyes I have ever seen. The only move she made was to wag her tai...

TRUE LOVE
One day at an Indiana animal shelter, Jessica Petalas was working when she was introduced to a mini poodle puppy named Rusty who had just been dropped off for allegedly going to the bathroom indoors.
"He shook uncontrollably and his red curly hair was kinked and matted under his belly," Jessica said. "For a dog that was just given up for not being potty trained, he was severely skittish and flinched when large objects would move quickly in his direction. I felt horrible. I watched t...

BIRDFEEDER KEEPS LITTLE DOG ALIVE ALL WINTER
Reported by Ed Kostro of Illinois
Several weeks ago, a small black dog was spotted running along some railroad tracks in the bitter cold and snow and no one knew if he had traveled a great distance on those railroad tracks, as many lost and abandoned dogs do, or if he lived in the area.
Everyone who spotted him over the past several weeks soon realized that this poor little street orphan was extremely skittish and afraid. Every time that anyone got ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE GOODALL:
"Everyone laughed at my dreams...."
"When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college.
