We didn’t throw them away he was given the chance of living his life with us
He needs daily medicine to keep him walking and that costs 250.00 every 90 days but he’s living out his life along with his daughter

On April 20, 2003, LCSO deputies, along with K-9 Alko were called to help track a suspect in Fort Myers. Alko quickly located the suspect after tracking him through a wooded area. While engaging the suspect, Alko was beaten and stabbed – all while protecting his handler. He died from internal injuries the following day.

This is not your typical Egg hunt. Eggs are filled with dog treats so they can track to find them. No tracking experience necessary and all relay racers must sign up before competition. Let us know if you have any questions! Hope to see everyone there 🐾💕🐾🐕‍🦺

FORGIVE ME, MOMMY!!!

I stayed right where you left me for two whole days, sleeping on the side of the road. I was terrified of the noise from the cars, but I didn’t move. Last night, one of those cars stopped, and a woman got out. She invited me to lunch, but I said no. She asked if I wanted to come sleep at her house, and I also said no. I tried to explain that I was waiting for you, but she wouldn’t listen.

She pulled out a leash and said I couldn’t stay there any longer. I bit her several times and ended up peeing on myself while I growled and cried! She didn’t understand that she was separating me from you. She took me against my will, and we drove off! I was so sad because I knew you would be worried. We ended up at her house.

I kept screaming, hoping you would hear me, but you never came. I vomited from nerves because I felt so sick. I kept telling her I needed to go back because you would think I abandoned you when you saw I wasn’t there! I, who love you with all my heart and soul, haven’t stopped crying since we separated a few days ago. I want you to know I would never do that to you.

I don’t know where you are now or why you stopped the car and left me there. You must have had something very important to do. Can you come find me now, Mommy?

Today, I ate because my tummy was hurting. I also slept on a very soft bed. And by accident, I even wiggled my tail a bit. I’m so sorry, please forgive me. She’s just being really nice to me. She said I could stay forever. She’s calling me Savannah, but I already have a name. When you pick me up, you can tell it to her. You’ll see how surprised she’ll be when you explain that this was a big mistake.

Because, Mommy, you’re coming back for me, right?

This pi**es me off no puppy should have this happen

Dear Mom and Dad,
I died today. You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a black plastic bag in a landfill now. Some other puppy will get the barely used leash you left. My collar was dirty and too small, but the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge .
Would I still be at home if I hadn't chewed your shoe? I didn't know what it was, but it was leather, and it was on the floor. I was just playing. You forgot to get puppy toys.
Would I still be at home if I had been housebroken? Rubbing my nose in what I did only made me ashamed that I had to go at all. There are books and obedience teachers that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the door.
Would I still be at home if I hadn't brought fleas into the house? Without anti-flea medicine, I couldn't get them off of me after you left me in the yard for days.
Would I still be at home if I hadn't barked? I was only saying, "I'm scared, I'm lonely, I'm here, I'm here! I want to be your best friend."
Would I still be at home if I had made you happy? Hitting me didn't make me learn how.
Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care for me and to teach manners to me? You didn't pay attention to me after the first week or so, but I spent all my time waiting for you to love me.
I died today.
Love, Your Puppy

67 years ago, Laika was launched into space.

Laika, ′′Little Barker"" but her real name was Kudrjavka, Russian for ′′curly."" She was captured on the street, in Moscow.

Half Husky and half Terrier, she was around 3 years old at the time. She was chosen because she was calm, docile and perfectly adaptable to the Sputnik 2 capsule. Equipped for life support (food and water), the mission didn't involve return. For Laika, it was a death sentence.

The interior of the satellite was lined and the interior space was wide enough to allow Laika to lie or stand. The internal temperature was set to 15. and a refrigeration system had to protect the animal from excessive thermal surges.

On November 3rd at 2 AM, Sputnik 2 was launched into space. Laika probably survived for seven hours.

But some sources claim that agony was much longer: four days.

Alone, in space.

The satellite returned to atmosphere 5 months later, April 14, 1958, after turning 2.570 laps around Earth.

It disintegrated upon return to the atmosphere.

Every year, before Fall, I feel compelled to tell this story and possibly do it with new words. There's a deep guilt that all of us should feel reading what we did to Laika. Human progress has often been achieved at the expense of animals that had nothing to do with our desire for supremacy.

Many people believe this was an acceptable price for our conquests, but it seems obvious, even reading this story, that was really just a trivial form of prevarication.

We had a duty to choose another path.

We still have that duty today.

Sorry humanity has failed you, Laika 💔
