An epiphany

I don't like when one of those ASPCA ads comes onto my television. I like to tell them to go away (nicely, of course) when they do:

That Sarah McLachlan sure knows how to tug at the heart strings. Or so my human tells me. All I see are animals in MY home that do not belong here. When those ads do come on the TV, and I start barking like crazy, my human grabs me and gives me a big hug and says, "don't bark, sissy, you were once a dog like them." Um, excuuussseeee me?

It's true, my friends. Before this posh life I have now, I was a shelter dog. My mom adopted me from Second Chance Animal Rescue in Clinton, Missouri, where I was found roaming around in the country. Miss Shannon at Second Chance took me in, nursed me back to health and helped me find my human.

And it hit me! All humans can help shelters like Second Chance Animal Rescue. My human likes to donate money to the ASPCA (I think it's so she can change the channel when Ms. McLachlan starts singing sad songs without feeling guilty, but don't tell her I told you that.) but she also likes to support a wonderful company called BOGO Bowl. It's a simple concept, buy a bag of dog food and BOGO Bowl donates a bag to an animal shelter. They support a lot of rescues and shelters all over the U.S., giving them quality dog food so the rescue can reserve funds for other things like vet visits (yuck!) You should help other great dogs like me by supporting BOGO Bowl. Just tell 'em the cute pug sent ya.
