For abuse victims, it is not so easy as packing up and leaving. We may want to think it is, but it is not. Bless that little boy. I am so glad he ended up in your driveway, despite those circumstances. No better people to help and give him a bit of comfort. Really shows love for his dog, too, to take her with him. Sounds like a good kid in an awful situation. -- Jackie Short-Nguyen Marcato German Shepherds <http://www.marcatogermanshepherds.com/> ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
