A neighborhood woman adopted a special needs dog and spends time caring for it every day. The dog displays unending love toward her, despite being terribly abused as a puppy by his prior owner.
A Good News Network member, Peggy Ijams, made this video about her neighbor, “an angel who walks among us”, and calls it a tale of forgiveness.
(Read also this Pawtucket Times story about another GNN member, Herb Weiss, who adopted a special needs dog with a host of problems. Weiss and a partner say they couldn’t be happier with the new addition to the family, even though they sometimes feel as though they run an animal hospital themselves.)
I would not call that a tale of forgiveness, but a tale of the amazing capacity for dogs to live in the present, letting go of the past. Beautiful, thank you Peggy for sharing!
Amazing! I didn’t realize how deeply it had touched me until I felt the tears fall from my cheek. Beautiful story of caring and compassion, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful and amazing!
Beautiful story. That’s also one of my favorite quotes.
