It's time to talk about our adorable furry friends, who are wonderful people. Whether you're a dog or a human, we all want to feel like we belong to a society, a family, or a culture.
Imagine the anguish abandoned animals feel when the person they believed was their world abandons them at a shelter or on the side of a highway. Nothing is more saddening than neglect, and these dogs understand it better than anyone else.
