Look at Petey tonight. His entire life, spent in a cage, and now, he gets to sleep in a real bed, on the pillows! One day, he'll learn how to jump up into it! THEN, he'll be a real doggie, doing real doggie things!

In the On Saving Petey photo essay.

My dog Lottie not only sleeps with me at night, but usually when I can't find her is curled up on my bed......its a real pain after she's been swimming in the loch!

I absolutely loved your story about Petey and his strong will to survive despite the cruelty of people without hearts. It is so great that there are people like you in this world who find in their hearts and souls the compassion to save these thrown away creatures. I am an animal lover as are my daughters and grand-children. I have had many good friends over the years, they do indeed get into your heart. They love you unconditionally. Thanks for a wonderful story.
