"I always tear up when I hear of animals finding their homes. I have a dear friend, Susan, who lives in Santa Fe and for years volunteered at a shelter taking dogs out for walks on Sundays. I don't know how she steeled herself for it, but she managed. She had a dog-sitting business and owned two already, so she couldn't bring any more home.
There was one particular dog that was very sweet, but quite ugly. She loved him and feared he'd never find a home. One day, when she was out walking another, she heard him barking, barking, barking...and she looked up to see his little head sticking out of the window of a car that was leaving the shelter.
She knew he was saying,'Susan! Susan! Susan! I have my family and they have a BOY!!!!!'"
