"Look!
Something wonderful is happening!" The older dog stood up and barked,
"Quickly. Get over to the path."
"But
that's not my owner," whined the pup, but he did as he was told.
Thousands
of pets surged forward as a figure in white walked on the path toward the
bridge. As the glowing figure passed each animal, that animal bowed it's head
in love and respect. The figure finally approached the bridge, and was met by a
menagerie of joyous animals. Together, they all walked over the bridge and
disappeared.
The young
pup was still in awe. "Was that an angel?" he whispered.
"No,
son," the older dog replied. "That was more than an angel. That was a
person who worked for an animal rescue group."
There are
many ways to work rescue without actually adopting a rescue or housing one. Many
people cannot do this, and that is certainly understandable. If you talk to one
person in your whole lifetime and persuade them to spay or neuter their dog
[the breed is of no importance here], you are eliminating the possibility of
one puppy that may be put to sleep because there is no home for it! Don't be
shy, speak up to those that you know that let their dogs run or who have
litters because they never got around to spaying and neutering their dogs.
