Dear Readers,

Sometimes it is really hard to grow old! When my family of nine years got a new puppy, I had a tough time adjusting, and so they took me to the shelter since they could not handle two dogs at their home.

After living with a family for so long, I hated the shelter, wouldn’t eat much, and lost weight. I also had a bad eye; in fact, it kept popping out all the time. I was really depressed, and didn’t think anyone would ever want a dog like me again. Then, a miracle happened. The kind-hearted office manager at the shelter took me home with her, and took care of me when I had surgery to have my problem eye removed.

After awhile I realized being one-eyed isn’t so bad and was better for my health — it made me look very friendly, as I was constantly winking at everyone! I came back to the shelter a changed dog, and soon a nice family came in and decided to give me a new home.

Because of the great lengths the shelter went through to help an old and disabled animal like me, I now have a second chance at a good life, and feel like a puppy again!

      Woof!
