[…] This is the second time this month that Sky Harbor Airport has had an incident with a dog. Earlier this month, Southwest Airline employees saved a seeing eye dog’s life. […]

There are good people out there. Obviously the airline employees went above and beyond to help this wonderful dogger and his person. Only a dog could be so selfless. Couldn’t we humans learn a lot?

Yesterday at Pet Supplies Plus a woman was checking out with an obviously senior lab. As I was petting the dog she told me that the dog just showed up in her yard about two months ago. They contacted shelters, put up flyers, took out ads, but no response. Since the humane society would likely euthanize this old girl, the woman decided to keep her. She had a leaking problem (the dog) but it has been taken care of with medication. Wonder if someone just didn’t want to deal with an old dog with some medical issues and dropped her off . . . Sadie is now in a wonderful home with a mom who loves her. She’s a beautiful dog with good manners and a loving spirit. Glad she will live out her life in a secure, loving home.

So there are good people out there and it’s nice to hear about them. Too many Michael Vicks in this world!

I always wanted a golden retriever too. They are beautiful and smart dogs. Makes me wonder about the taxi driver. I do not see how this poor dog could have got such a terrible cut like this in a cab. There are some terribly cruel people out there in this world. I wonder if the taxi cab driver did it.

Our family of three and a half (our lit’ 11 lbs mutt) are thinking of getting another dog. Due to their innate gentle, friendly and intelligent trait, my S/O has always wanted a golden retriever or a yellow or chocolate lab. Story like this further strengthens our commitment :-)

With this repulsive Michael Vick situation a story like this restores my faith in humankind. It makes me realize that there are still some good people in this world. Have a great weekend everyone.
