Over the past couple of days, we’ve been overjoyed to see Blackie, a dog saved by a “fospice” home, featured in multiple, national news outlets, including ABC News, The Huffington Post, The Dodo and Fox & Friends. His story has captured the hearts of millions of people around the globe. Blackie’s is the tale of how an utterly hopeless situation can be turned into a beautiful, inspiring one, with the help of just a few selfless people who wanted to give him love at the end of his life.
Blackie’s story has many invaluable lessons to offer us, not the least of which is the importance of showing the same compassion to the people in our community as we do the animals. I am thrilled to be starting off 2016 celebrating this little dog with a heart of gold, kind eyes and a spirit that will carry us forward to do better by our people and animals, to work in partnership to save more animals than ever before.
