I have a soft spot for dogs like me—the rescued kind.
My spirit remains unbroken. I hope yours does too! I wanted to be Man’s Best Friend, but my abusers wouldn’t let me. Give me one good reason not to adopt a dog…I said good reason! Please adopt a dog right now. Don’t make him wait ten years like I did. I have a bone to pick with abusers. A rescued dog can do anything a purchased dog can—and just may be even more appreciative. Dogs are sanity in an insane world. I don’t like images of animal abuse on Twitter. It’s a personal thing, my friend. On hikes, my rescuer got dog-tired, not me. A dog is smart enough to know sitting on command is nothing special; he’s also smart enough to know humans think it is, so he graciously humors them. My rescuer had no idea what he was getting into. I did. Do you leave your dog outside 24/7? Shame on you! If you took it on the chin for ten years like I did, you’d have issues too. The veterinarian said I’d been to hell and back. If I can make it, so can you! Don’t let people crush you; I didn’t. Dogs can be many things. I, for one, am inspirational. PLEASE VISIT ME ON TWITTER: LANCE@LANCEUNBROKEN
