Share Holiday Warmth with a Back Yard Dog

We like back yards. We like finding old furniture to restore in back yards. We like seeing our restored furniture in back yards and hanging out there. One thing we don’t like to see in back yards, however, is a lonely, unsheltered dog. And there are many of them. Forgotten. Cold. Wet. Chained. When it rains or snows, I think of them. I think of them when it is hot and dry. So you can understand how elated I was to learn of PETA’s (www.peta.org) Angels for Animals program to shelter back yard dogs and to try to educate their owners about good care of their animals. If there is a dog lover on your holiday list, consider giving an Angels for Animals sponsorship…a gift that will continue giving for a lifetime…a dog’s lifetime. At a time when some will be dressing their dogs on Christmas morning and giving gifts to their pets, let’s remember the back yard dogs for whom Christmas is just another day…but thanks to you, a better day.
