My daughter adopted an 8 month old pit bull a number of years ago.
Her name is Boo. She was only about 8 months old when my daughter rescued her and the vet said that even at that age she had already had a litter. One of those cases where some lowlife grabs a beautiful dog, breeds her, gets a litter, then takes the money and runs, kicking the mother dog to the curb.
A couple of years later, my daughter and her husband went to a concert in Jacksonville. They stopped at a convenience store on the way home, and there, outside in the pouring rain they saw a tiny black kitten–so young that his eyes were still blue. The man who owned the store had been feeding him and keeping an eye on him.
Georgia (my daughter) brought him home and Boo was thrilled. At last, she had a baby again! She took over all care of him, washes, cuddles, kisses, etc. They are truly inseparable. Jax is a very big boy now, but every night Boo washes his face before bedtime and they sleep cuddled together.
Georgia also has another cat rescue and another dog. They all love each other, but Boo and Jax have a very special bond. The picture is of Boo and Jax. She has her arm around him even while enjoying a Bully stick.
We could all learn so much from the wonderful animals that God has sent us.
God bless everybody .

And science would have you believe that animals don’t have feelings.
When Georgia brought home the second rescue kitten, Boo was eager to do the same thing. She was literally heartbroken when the kitten hissed at her and wanted no part of it. Boo went and sat by herself in the bathroom. She was truly upset.

That’s amazing. Our animal friends are smart, and while not quite human, at times they surprise us.
Thank you, Patty, for the beautiful story. Animals are a mercy from God to us to be our companions through life. They can tell us a lot about God because He designed and created them.
You are so right. They do give us an example of living by Gods rules. Patty
I had that pointed out to me, some years back. Animals are living examples of God’s rules in action. Due to the fallen nature of our world, many are carnivorous, but they were created to eat vegetation and to live peacefully, honoring God with all that they do. We still see remnants of this, such as Boo and Jax. It’s always heartwarming to see such things.
Animals can teach us so much. Patty
Boo is great mother material! We could learn much from watching animals that are God’s gifts to us!
They are truly one of His greatest gifts. Patty
