Meet Them
Ricochet

531This is one of the most inspirational and motivational stories that I have ran across. The story of Ricki shows how dissapointment can be turned into something wonderful. Allowing Ricki to just be what she wanted to be, she showed how she can be a service dog, on her terms. Thinking outside of the box and you can see the joy and passion this dog has for what she does.

Laika

Irish printmaker Tim Mara(1948-1997)Moscow, Russia just nine days before Sputnik 2 was launched on November 3rd, 1957 a homeless dog was snatched up from the streets. She was named Laika. A handler calls her Kudryavka (Little Curly). She begins training for a mission to space inside Sputnik 2. Laika the first living creature to be launched into space. She will be famous.She was everything they were looking for down to being cute and photogenic.

Gypsy
gypsy100Meet Gypsy. This photo when I first ran into it on the Internet haunted me for months. How could a dog endure so much suffering? How was this dog alive? What kind of life has this dog had? The dog surley was put down. Later on I ran into the story of this dog. Gypsy, she had a name. She had a story. She survived! Gypsy was a victim of the dog fighting world. She was picked up and saved by angels that stayed by her side and let her fight for a life she so badly wanted to fight for. Gypsy wanted to live and that she did! The pictures are horrible and very graphic but Gypsy after all the hard work is beautiful!
