"Walk softly and carry a big stick" I once heard someone say... LOL.

What a magnificent article. Tears for my lost heart dogs over the years.

I hope people take it to heart that many dogs getting lost can be prevented with proper precautions. Thank you for presenting this info to people. What's that? "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"... and also a ton of heartache.

Teyla is my Tino. I would love to have her forever in any reality. I will loose her very soon. Life after Teyla sounds impossible.

I will get up each day because I brought Jake home from the shelter. Jake requires more attention than any other. I need Jake possibly more than he needs me. Yes I brought Jake home to save my life in the future. The future is here. Thank you for telling the world how much love dogs have to give and making it OK for us to constantly having conversations with them. To take 3 million pictures to get one shot after studying each one over and over never deleting them. Teyla you saved my life we are one. I know we will always be beside me just out of reach. Jake gets close and closer like he is willing our bodies to become one. Jake what is your story? No matter you are here and we are one.

Porter reminds me of my former, Margo, a rescue we believed to be a flat-coated retriever. Thanks for the fond memories!

I love Tino!!! You should write a book about your life and adventures with your dogs and how you became a dog rescuer (cats too:). You are an excellent exceptional writer.
