Get out the tissues.

This is what a friend of mine wrote about a lucky chow girl, and it mad me cry. Maybe it won't make people cry if they don't know Frannie. I have a big soft spot in my heart for the older pups like her.

I just had to share it. Some people don't think dogs feel, but we know differently here.

(its a happy ended so don't worry - you won't come away feeling depressed)

OMG... BAWLING HERE... Yet happy ... very happy for the woman and the chow girl. And, of course I can relate to this woman.
Thanks mytwodoxies... I LOVE happy endings.

The mixes get to me the most.

Oh this is Frannie's before and after picture

8/9 years old, matted, dumped at the shelter
Labelled as a "senior"

Frannie on her relay. A kind man named Eric picked her up along with three other dogs. He adopted two and the third dog was going to her foster home too like Frannie. He is a good friend of Laura who wrote the blog. Frannie made it from GA to Colorado.

Her new mom was a rescue who first offered to foster Frannie, and then said that she thinks that she will be Frannie's forever home (she said that before meeting Frannie)

(oh, and my name is also Chris. I keep forgetting to sign my posts)

Beautiful story - no tears from me either David - just a ruddy big lump in my throat!

I am economical with my tears but that story - does Frannie's new Mum know about this site?

Hey! What kind of people go around making old guys cry?

Nice ones, apparently!

Yep, made me cry. I wasn't quite teary enough, so I read about her father passing, too. My kid thought I was losing it. I have an especially soft spot for Pip's doppelgangers. I wish I could save them all!
