What We Can Learn From Them

This pictorial story arrived in my mailbox last week. It's a great way to spend some time this weekend thinking about and being inspired by the courage of our pets and the people dedicated to sharing their lives with them.

Hurricane Rescue Story

The story begins with the rescuers finding this poor little guy they named Ralphie that

someone had already taken under their wing but weren't equipped to adopt;

Ralphie, scared and starved, joined his rescuers...







I wouldn't think anything could live thru this...
but we were wrong.













This little lady survived that wreckage.











Here she is just placed in the car - scared, but safe.











and then... no longer alone!











Instant friends, they comforted each other while in the car.











Add two more beagles found after that.
the more, the merrier!








Oh boy, a new traveler to add to the mix...
(note: the cat coming over the seat needing shelter...)
now just how is this going to work???












It's going to work just fine, thank you very much!








Wow! The things we learn from our animal friends...
If only all of mankind could learn such valuable lessons
as this. Lessons of instant friendship. Of peace and harmony
by way of respect for one another -- no matter one's color or creed.

These animals tell you... "It's just good to be alive and with others."

Yes, it surely is.

So... Live, love, laugh.
