"Teddy's rescue Teaches...

I had written a follow-up letter to the editor about our Teddy to our local paper, The Republican Herald. They printed it in today's paper (thank you!). I felt people needed to know how we all ( whether from afar or right here) helped in our own way. Because frankly, I could have given up quite a few times, but because of all of your support-I was determined to see it through. And now he is so safe AND learning to be a dog and hopefully trust once again! He is just such an awesome site to see up close! After months of watching him from afar and now I can hug him and hand feed him, and he actually greets me...well...I'm in tears as I write this...and I'm not usually so emotional. But his story was emotional - watching a life struggle to survive and wanting to help and unable to communicate your outstretched hand...it was hard. He became like one of my own but yet one I couldn't touch or hold or bring to safety. Can you imagine not being able to hold something you love? I am sooooo happy for Teddy, he is safe, and warm, and has access to a clean bed, fresh water, and good food and how can I forget...love, and hugs, and gentle voices and pats.

Thank you everyone for anything that you have done in support of our boy-he is absolutely beautiful and so precious. My husband believes that God lead him to my back yard. I'm just glad God lead him home.
