"Practice kindness toward animals, for he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals"  ~ Immanuel Kant

Bubbles

Highway dogs don't get second chances. When I saw Bubbles on the Highway 71 median, Christmas eve, I said a short prayer for our safety. The cars never seemed to notice a 40 pound dog scrounging for food on the highway. I pulled onto the frontage road that paralleled the highway, so Bubbles could see me. When I called to her, the skinny blue dog left the highway and came toward me. Ever so gently, she approached, as I reached out to her with a handful of treats. She hesitated at first. When she began to eat gently from my hand, I quietly slipped a lead over her neck. She was safe!


We rapidly had her spayed and I named her 'Bubbles.'  She's a young Blue Lacey mixed with pure joy! She adores everyone that she meets. She recently found her forever home with a young woman in Bastrop County. They'll be best friends forever.
