The Top Button

In the backyard that our friend shared with his neighbor was this scrawny little pup that was, for the most part, neglected by her owners.

How many times have you heard someone say “I have lost all faith in humanity?” How many people yearn for the “good old days” of people helping people instead of the egocentric, self-serving examples of human action that we see far too often in today’s world? Sometimes it seems like we are alone in this … Continue reading Look For the Helpers
