Well I was close to living out of my car and I went to visit a friend and this dog had camped on their door step. But my friends' house is so full of people and they already have a dog which they are not suposed to have at their rented house. They felt they could not feed this dog. I didn't take much notice during the first day I visited but on the second day I found out the story and I looked at Pete and he looked at me with these eyes which said would you please feed me, pleasssseeee. I noticed his frame was bones and he was weak. 

So instead of visiting I said 'get in my car boy', not knowing how I was going to support a dog let alone me...I helped him in the car and game him water and food. And this dog has become such a friend of mine. He is like a human. He uses his paws like a human and he just knows things. He has kept me warm and safe and comforts me if he thinks I am in need of comfort.

This dog was abused and abandoned and he knows what it is like to be in discomfort so when he thinks you are he will do all he can to be of a comfort. He kisses you and hugs you. I've never seen a dog which requires so much affection and gives as much has he has to give. I am so glad I didn't think of the expense or the responsibility of having a pet.

As the needs for money for dog food, shots and tutoring as well as pet supplies came up -  these needs where met by God. As I help my pet God in turn has helped me help my pet. I have always known that you help another in need and it is written and as it has been said, that if help others you are helping yourself. Never should anyone let a life go unfed or without a place to sleep or a drink of water.

As we help the needy we are helping ourselves. No one should walk away from someone if there is a way to be of help. Or show some support, care, kindness or love. We are here in this together and we will learn the importance of loving one another.
