My dog Cowboy; he is a Harlequin Great Dane weighing in about 195 lbs. In this last year, I have learned so much about dogs and the different paths they travel. Some of them have great homes but unfortunately; some don't. They are left in dumpsters, thrown over fences, dumped in the streets or rural areas and left behind to fend for themselves in an abandoned home and even beaten or starved to death by their own owners. I want to start educating the public on what is going on with these animals. If everybody pitched in just a little bit; some of these dogs would not have to die. It is my goal to help these dogs and it is my goal to get you to help them as well.
A dog will love you more than its self, give back that love and adopt.
From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, its just a dog" or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog". They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent, or costs involved for "Just a dog". Some of my proudest moments have come about with "Just a dog". Many hours have passed with my only company being "Just a dog", and not once have I felt slighted. Some of my saddest moments were brought about by "Just a dog". In those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "Just a dog" provided comfort and purpose to overcome the day.
If you too, think its "Just a dog", you will probably understand phrases like "Just a friend", "Just a sunrise", or Just a promise", "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog", brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "Just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
For me and folks like me, it's not "Just a dog" It's an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday people can understand it's not "Just a dog". It's the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "Just a man or woman".
So the next time you hear the phrase "Just a dog", smile, because they "Just don't understad".

Dedicated to Rescue people everywhere
My life was nearly at it's end
An that's when you stepped in.
My hope was gone, only fear remained.
You had come to deliver me from my pain.
I had no trust left on which to draw,
You reached for me...I began to crawl.
How could I know th an, what was to be?
What your touch of love could bring to me?
You instinctively knew my every need
My confidence and body you began to feed.
My trust in you had begun to build
Achieving the result that you had willed.
Your relentless efforts in my behalf
Outline the blueprint your mind did draft.
For the outcome that only your vision could see
My life filled wtih love and free to be me.
These weeks and months you labor in love
To restore to me what was stolen..and I rise above.
This bond we have created I have never known
Look what honor, trust and love have sown.
Your words say that I am now going to leave
Please don't make me go! My heart will grieve.
These people are wonderful...but you own my heart
With tears in your eyes, you say it's my new start.
Looking back now, I understand what you said that day,
You had reformed me as though I was a type of clay.
My new family loves me, and now my joy is complete
I trust and adore them, only your memory can compete.
And I will carry you with me to my dying day
Treasured few are gifted with your loving way.
I know now it was God's will for us to part
So you could give another their new start.
When you get to Heaven do you know what you'll see?
Everyone of us that you worked so hard to set free.
God gave people dominion over the animals, that's true.
But God, with His wisdom, then created people like you.
In heaven we'll sing a song in honor of you, and your heart will see,
What your giftr of love gave, we each lived our lives "free to be me".
