A Bit of History

​

It all started with a neglected mutt with one blue eye and one brown eye. A dirty mutt that I passed every day on my way to elementary school.  In rain, snow and scorching sun, he greeted me from behind the fence, begging for some love and attention.

​

I saved my leftover packed in a brown paper bag for him. Every day I shared my food and gave him the rubs he so craved for; and every day we felt a bond. A bond of hope, happiness and healing so desperately missing in our impoverished neighborhood.

​

I called for my mutt with my brown bag in hand. No sight of him, no sound of his attention seeking barks. I called and called, but nothing appeared. Again, the next day I called for him and the day after that. He simply disappeared from my life. 

​

The legacy of that dirty mutt was a seed for animal compassion in a child who, now as an adult, strives for animal welfare and activism.

​

Thank you to the one blue eyed and one brown eyed neglected mutt, who now smiles down on me from heaven.
