Avery - to Love, Honor, and Protect
I am sure you receive many letters regarding special pets. However, not
many dogs are smart enough to know what to do to save a life. My dog, Avery,
saved the lives of my brother and nephew; and, I can tell you that they will
never forget that day or that dog.

The Hope A Dog Can Give: Juno's Story
I wanted a poodle; I got a pit bull instead. Standing in the
scant dog run at an NYC pound, a volunteer came out with a fawn
colored 65lb, adult female Pit Bull mix that was far too regal
to be homeless let alone on death row. The dog looked at me with
desperation... More

Prince Duke and His “Kids”
Duke was my gentle as a lamb Rottweiler. While coming home
from work one evening, I saw a dead possum in the middle of the
road. It had something crawling on it so I stopped to take a look.

Autism Causes Puppy-Love
My son, Matt, is “gloriously” autistic. Like many
autistic people, he has "serial obsessions". When Matt was about 15,
out of nowhere he developed an intense fixation on hairless dogs. We
had never had a dog. I had nursed an active distaste for dogs all my
life. [...] The next thing I remember was driving 2
hours on a snowy, treacherous November to pick up what I expected
to be the biggest mistake of my life. This nondescript, timid,
small, grey and shivering pooch had all the cuddliness of a rump
roast. More

Superdog Stella
Our dog Stella is a brindle (brown/white) Boston terrier. She
is the sweetest puppy, always jumping on our bed waking us up in the
morning, following us around as we're getting ready for work in the
morning, and faithfully waits by the window for us to get home.
We just recently lost her for 2 whole days during a horrible
rainstorm and was afraid we would never see her again...

Adventure Dog
Four days after Hurricane Wilma struck South Florida, I decided to go on a
long run on the beach. It was a beautiful, breezy day, so before I left home I partially
opened the windows to let the breeze in. When I returned about 6 hours later, I noticed
that the living room window was closed, and the fan was on... but it wasn’t until the
next morning that I found out what happened, when I was awoken by a knock on the door...

The Peek-A-Boo Dog
It didn’t occur to me when I was pulling into the driveway in February of 2003,
that my life was about to change. I walked in the door to find my roommate frantic
on the phone with his mother. He pointed to the backroom and said, “Keesha was
just mauled by the neighbor’s dog!” ... More

Hurricane Katrina Survivor Rescued
My two dogs, Noss and Chata, went through
Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately we had to go to a shelter, and
during the storm my fence came down and the dogs escaped... More

The Cat of Consolation on Chickamauga Lane
I met Pumpkin in 1996. Some people would say he was a "stray" cat, but I've come
to understand that he is actually a "wandering minister" who chooses certain people
or families who need a special gift of love... More

A Very Special Christmas
"Where'd the cookies go? They were here a minute ago!" my
sister Sylvia shouted from the living room. It was Christmas Eve and
she was crouched under the artificial tree, staring at an empty dish
resting on the tree skirt. A few crumbs were visible, but otherwise,
there was little trace of what had been there... more

Night of the Missing Iguana
Loving lizards is an acquired taste. As a child I was always
fascinated with the little creatures. Besides crawling outside the
screened-in porch of my Florida home with their flicking and bobbing
heads, I witnessed spotted geckos sticking to windows and walls with
their suction-cupped fingers... more

Felinus Domesticus Unusualus
My wife and I are the proud human parents of two outstanding specimens of felinus domesticus...
Our nine-year-old cat Kidgie has been with us every day of our married life
and is a truly loved member of our family. He is not the topic of this article,
though. No, he is entirely too normal. Toscik, our 23-month-old cat, was adopted
from a family who could not raise him. Toscik is... well, how can I state this politely...
uh... unusual... More

Self-Preservation Instinct?!
I truly believe my Thor is not quite "working with
a full deck" and I have to wonder if he has ANY survival
instincts at all! While viewing the breathtaking scenery at
Point Waronsoff, Thor looks down at the sheer drop-off and
decides to jump off! (thank DoG he was wearing a harness)

Sam I Am
Because of old age, we had just lost two more of the many
animals that we had saved from abusive situations. I was not in
the mood to take on any more animals, mainly because of the high
veterinary costs that we had incurred throughout the years. A
process we began almost ten years ago; one that that has caused
us many hardships. As the wife and I were driving near the airport,
all at once she turned into the Glynn County Animal Shelter and
came to a stop... More
