Best Friends

Senior dogs are often overlooked because they require special consideration. However, they make a gentle, loving companion for those with a big heart.

Caring for animals is a rewarding way to teach empathy and compassion. Take it from this future doctor:

For his wife's 40th birthday, Andrew Duhe purchased 40 dog adoption fees (the total capacity of his Chesapeake Animal Services). Andrew said the gift would mean more to his wife than anything he could buy at the store. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltKX...

A reminder that if you have time to give, there are always animals in need of our help. ...And helping those animals typically leads to helping yourself. Studies have shown that people gain far more happiness from helping others, than from selfish pursuits. bsky.app/profile/mean...

For those who don't know, this is Andrea Cisternino, an Italian photographer. He lives in Ukraine. He stayed with his 400 rescue dogs and said he would rather die with them than leave them. He continues to help these homeless dogs. An incredibly brave man. Heroyam Slava! 🙏💙💛

For a brighter world, take interest and compassion in animals of all sorts.
