do what is best for the animals? Or do we do what we THINK is good for the animals?
To bring it further, do we do what we think OTHER PEOPLE think is good for the animals?
Find a quiet place - be just by yourself .... just yourself and the animal you are thinking to help -
... forget about people's comments and criticisms however well-intended, forget about professional advice, forget about even all the thoughts churning in your mind about what is right, what is wrong, forget about what other people may do which may harm the animal you are trying to save for you have no control of their intentions ....
.... and just be BOLD and see for yourself with the eyes of your heart, see the very animal you are wanting to help, NOT what we think is best for her, NOT what we think is safest, NOT what we think will prolong her life the longest, definitely NOT what will make US feel better...
...for this is not about us at all. Not about our selfish intentions and pretentiously noble heart.
...but solely about the animal. What Mama Girl wants. What she is thinking of right now that I know we are denying her. For her own good. Or so we think.
I know what Mama Girl wants. I already did. And so does L. Just sit close to her and look into her eyes and you will know too. The question is: Do we have the courage to give her what she wants? And not what we think is best for her.
The Wolf was born free. Born wild.
And so is Mama Girl.
But, are we bold to let go?
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Guardians for Junior & Ginne
Junior and Ginne were heartlessly abandoned by their owners, who unfortunately could not be charged with pet abandonment due to lack of needed evidence. It is nothing short of a miracle that they were found 7 days later around the vicinity where they were discarded.
Be their Guardian as they now safely live at a dog shelter while awaiting their permanent home. To sponsor Junior or Ginne's monthly boarding fee, please email us. Thank you.

I think you have posed some very profound questions that are beyond inter-species understanding. I rest in gladness in the harmony we are able to meditate on between dogs and humans.

The wolf was born free, born wild but the environment inhabitated by them then was kind and generous; unlike today. i know it's never a easy choice concerning farm dogs but i believe Mama Girl knows you will give her the very best, and will accept your good intentions.
Very profound questions indeed... just as i ask myself whether to release the stray FELV kitten which i rescued back to her mum and the caregiver who watches out for them? No, due to obvious reasons, esp since her health is weak even after spending a month in the clinic. Yes, because her eyes have told me she wants to be free again, as she hides in a corner of her cage in the clinic looking so frightened and depressed. So, i have decided to let her go tomorrow and whatever the outcome, I will bear it bravely. At least, i have kept my promise to her, that i bring her back to her "home"... Each decision is made depending on the circumstances and i believe you will be able to reach that which u believe is best for her.
