Freedom...

All we have of freedom, all we use or know...

This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.

Only 1 out of 10 make it...

The people who rescued our Ms. Giz from the NYC pound told us that about 1,000 cats & dogs are taken in every single week at that particular pound. Of those, only about 100 find homes. The other 900 aren't so lucky and are put down... every week... at just that one pound. That's about 46,800 cats & dogs a year at just that ONE pound! Multiply that by all of the pounds across this country. The numbers are staggering... When searching for your next 4-footed family member, be it mutt or purebreed, feline or canine, please remember to visit your local shelter, pound, or rescue group...

If you've ever loved, or lost, a dog, I highly recommend this book. (Keep tissues handy)
