A New Year's Wish............

For every dog searching trash cans for breakfast - a full bowl with his name

printed in bright letters.

For every dog who slept fitfully last night, chained in a frozen yard - a

soft, warm bed with a person snoring gently nearby.

For every shelter dog, spending New Year's Eve in a soiled run - a forever

home, filled with sounds and smells of family.

For every "Christmas" puppy given - a tolerant, caring owner who won't

abandon you as you grow into a real dog.

For every ailing pet - enough money for your owner to pay the bills to make

you well.

For every lost dog - a clear, safe road, and well marked path, to lead you

home.

For every old and tired friend - a warm fire, and a soft bed, to ease your

aches and pains.

And.................

For every Heart Dog at the Bridge - a moment when you know that you are

remembered, missed again, and loved forever.
