    You can tell in the first picture that Loki really loves Leo. He was closing his eyes and cherishing the hug. So precious! And what you said about the feeling of being safe and loved after a tough time in life and you wished more dogs could experience it really hit home with me. It’s why I foster and why I’m super picky where the dogs go. I treat them like my own family.

    Being at a shelter is just like being at the prison in my opinion. In the prison, you get fed, have break times and activity times, interact with other people just like dogs at the shelter. The major similarity are freedom, love and peace which cannot be gotten at those two places. Adopt adopt.... please adopt!!

    There’s Nothing like a child being raised alone side a good dog. They learn so much from each other and help get each other into trouble. The bond my 2yr old son had with His puppy was truly special. If I was looking for one the other was right there next to him. Kids that grow up with that close family friend learn what loyalty is long before they could ever explain it. That loyalty can shape their lives.

    The way he looked at you in the car & held your hand said it all. Good on you, your little boys got a mate for life. God Bless you for your kindness.😘

    His mannerisms remind me of my dog. He’s looks like such a sweet boy.
