These letters do help. After a cold and rainy night, tossing sleeplessly thinking of Gigi alone out there, reading letters like this helps to lift our spirits and give encouragement.
Dear Nancy and Jim,
I live in Chesapeake, Virginia. You and Gigi have been in my thoughts and prayers for days.
Something similar happened to our "new," unsocialized sheltie who spent her first five years at a mill - she was not a NVSR dog. We were able to "bring her back home" because of the help of some wonderful people and the power of positive thoughts and prayer.
I was distributing flyers to individuals going to church on a cold February, Sunday morning. After church one of the ladies decided she would spend some time looking for our girl. She spotted her and was able to enlist the help of some work men (who also had been given flyers that morning). They followed her until we arrived - I was able to entice her with food while sitting on the ground.
The members of the church had posted our flyers on the front doors of that beautiful church - I will never forget that image. The woman from the church would not accept the reward, so we donated it to the church in her name. The pastor called me and he told me that he read our letter of appreciation to the congregation. The workmen also received the reward.
Our girl is now a very, very stable and happy member of our family. Obedience and agility classes really helped tremendously in the bonding process. She is a radically different dog today and nothing like that could ever happen again.
I know that Gigi will be home with you very shortly. Until then, please know that you are all in my prayers.
