I am so honored to be Guest Posting at the blog Life In Dogs today! Guilie Castillo-Oriard has been doing a magnificent series during the A-Z on Dog Rescue. It’s a comprehensive look at the world of rescue and all that goes along with it.
Today for the letter W — Who Rescues Who? — she featured my story of Bella, a runaway and rescued greyhound that I adopted back in 1999. It’s a bitter-sweet story of my life with Bella and all that I learned from her.
Please stop by Life In Dogs and give it a read. And while you’re there, be sure to check out Guilie’s other amazing posts during this A-Z Challenge. It will open your eyes…and your heart!
Thank you Guilie! I’m so incredibly honored to be a part of your stunning series.
My sweet Bella

Michele, the honor is mine… Bella’s story—and yours—is a beautiful tribute to everything rescue; it sums up everything we’ve been talking about all month, not just the practical aspects but also, maybe especially, the bittersweetness of it. What I love most about it, though, is how it illustrates so perfectly the link of love and understanding between a human and an animal. How it puts our feelings and insecurities—the human’s and the dog’s—not just on equal footing but in a position to heal each other. It’s a gorgeous story, and I can’t thank you enough for choosing to share it at the dog blog 🙂

Thank you Guilie. And I love the special effects you did with some of the photos! Really very cool! I’m no good at photoshop and all the cool techy stuff you can do with pictures these days. They look great!

It was just such a great read about love for a dog. I couldn’t help myself – they are such wonderful creatures and leave us far too soon.

I know. It’s so heartbreaking to lose them but I believe that’s the price we have to pay for loving them and receiving all that unconditional love. Although it’s devastating, I’ll keep paying the price…
