The below message is from Weeping Willow BOD member Joe Maringo....a couple of years ago with the help of Last Hope Safe Haven Joe saved this old girl who did have some GSD in her :-) .... Zena touched so many of our hearts....would you please take a moment to check out the site and vote for "Zena Loves Joe"...thanks....Pat -------------------------------------------------------------- Scroll down and please vote for "Zena loves Joe". This is the painting his friend Deb Stonebraker who painted this of our special girl Zena. For those that don't know or remember, Zena lived 17 years at the end of a chain, and when she came to us she had no eyes. They had ruptured at some point during her life. Now in this painting Zena has crossed the rainbow bridge and is once again whole. I always wondered what she looked like with eyes. I can send you her full story if you are interested, or you can read it in the book by Dogs Deserve Better that we have available for sale titled "Unchain My Heart" Thank you my friends. _http://www.canineartguild.com/gallery/_ (http://www.canineartguild.com/gallery/) Joe Maringo â??
