Time to read a nice story. Most times when I seed an article about being kind to animals, or how wonderful they are most of the comments I get are from individuals that have some sort of issue. This is just a warm nice tale of love, kind humans and a great dog.

I said that I would leave a comment for you to post, if you desire to post it, on "Comments and Feedback. Since these remarks by nature should be brief, and it's a fact that when my mind starts to tick most times I write another treatise.: This is what I'm now thinking:
You seem to be a THINKER as well as very decent individual with the gift of empathy. Some individuals will write or say something that is important and simply to understand. Others will write and say something that has to brew in the mind of the receiver. The thought put forth one day may come to the surface of the receiver, or it may not. This is because it takes more than reading or listening it takes imagination to understand fully what was put forth. My new friend I believe you have imagination so don't expect all to understand at once what you write or say. Keep on expressing yourself. As it was said in one of my favorite motion pictures; "they will come."

Kodebri,
Have not heard from you of late. I just ran across your comment this evening. When I write something I do it only because I enjoy writing, and with the hope that someone else may get some enjoyment out of it. I guess I like to remember interesting individuals and event that to me had meaning. They don't to many others. OK I'll still write.

Ira,
Thank you so very much for your response to my article. Like you, I to am a new guy. Newsvine is very different than what I expected. I initially expected all kinds of feedback and responses, but I get the sense that the people in this community are tired of a certain type of individual, or getting strung in to certain types of conversations that makes them apprehensive, or selective of new guys. I thank you for accepting my invitation as a new friend, and I look forward to having many great conversations with you.— Kodebri
