Yay! That was a sweet story. 🙂

One of our cats got lost outside one winter, and was gone for 3 or 4 days in very snowy conditions. I remember how I almost fell down in relief when he finally showed up again. What these people felt must have been 10 times that.

Thanks for making me smile with this story. 🙂

Ohhhhhhh, poor sweet pup. Lucky she found some dog lovers. It’s not everyone who would carry somebody else’s 30-pound dog 3 miles with smiles on their faces. I cannot imagine the joy and relief of her owners, and how grateful they must be toward her rescuers. I would never feel that I had thanked them enough.
