#1 & Most Important Question: Why do I love animals so much?
Because Sunnie taught me valuable lessons about how unconditional love, unwavering trust & a little sincere compassion can change all living creatures for the better!
This is my beloved very first Petfinder rescue dog Sunnie! Sunnie's best friends were a Samoyed named Lobo, a Shih Tzu named Ellee, and a little one-eyed guard dog named Jake. We made up her pack and kept her safe! She was so much fun even with all her little afflictions: she was a breeder dog and kept in a very small kennel for much of her early life. Once I got her, all of our lives changed forever. Adopting a dog with issues can be one of the most rewarding experiences. It takes patience, love, and understanding, but the bond that forms is unbreakable. Having a once-troubled dog by your side for over 20 years brings countless joys, from seeing her grow more confident each day to cherishing the quiet moments of trust. Animals, like humans, like reliable humans -and Sunnie knew she could count on me. I took her trust as a badge of honor and cared for her like it was my pleasure, because it was! She may have started with a difficult past, but together, we created a lifetime of love and memories that show just how resilient and precious she is.
I carry her spirit with me everyday - she taught me gratitude at its most beautiful level! 🐾
