My feral showed up one day. I would feed her, but she waited until I went back into the house before coming over to the dish. Slowly, she let me stay and talk to her, but I could not touch her.

One day, two coyotes had her up our tree, and I went out there with a baseball bat and chased them away. That evening as I put her dish down, she licked my hand!

It took a while, but she eventually ventured onto the house, and my cat Gizmo showed her how to be a house cat: what a lap was for and how to play with cat toys.

She ended up sleeping on my bed for the next 10 years and we recently had to put her down due to health issues. I held her when she passed, and Gizmo and I miss her dearly.

Attached is a picture, taken yesterday, of our precious little Benny. Sadly, yesterday afternoon, his Mom was faced with the heart wrenching decision regarding the quality of his life and had to send him over the Rainbow Bridge. Benny was the patriarch of our family for 14 1/2 years.

He allowed and raised many rescued kittens and dogs that his Mom brought home over the years with tons of patience and love. He moved a lot during his life -- from IN to IL to GA and eight times in GA alone before his Mom was able to buy them a home but he always did it with grace and courage. He lost one of his front legs two months before he met his Mom in January of 2001 but it never slowed him down.

He ran and walked with the best of his buddies until just recently.

Inside a locked crate alongside Route 80 in New Jersey, animal control officers found an “abandoned, disabled, and completely helpless” chihuahua.

Stanley, as he was later named, weighed 21 pounds, over double the normal weight, and was unable to walk. The 8-year-old dog was rescued by The Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge after they heard his heartbreaking story.

“All four of his legs are so badly deformed that Stanley is unable to walk...”
