Doogie’s Great Escape, or Pay it Forward
I received a call from a grateful dog-lover the other day. She wanted to make a donation to our “Second Chance Fund”, a fund ear-marked for medical expenses for animals in need. She made this donation gift in honor of two neighbors to whom she is so grateful.

“My dog escaped from our newly fenced-in yard today and, thanks to the concern and kindheartedness of two neighbors, (we just moved here two weeks ago), was returned to us safely and quickly. My husband and I were both at work while all of this was happening, and things could certainly have turned out very differently. My dog could have very easily needed the services that your second chance fund provides, and I am so grateful to my neighbors for the fact that he did not.
While there is nothing I can do to convey to these two people just how grateful my husband and I are to them, I would like to take a small step in that direction. I would love to donate to the second chance fund in each of their names if that would be possible.”
We learned the names of the escaped dog chaser/retriever neighbors, Mel White and Robin Blackman, and we know them to be dog-lovers themselves.
I’m sure “Doogie”, that’s the wild-at-heart doggie’s name, had a grand adventure leading the neighbors on a merry chase during his great escape. We salute the good neighbors for their gift of a good turn, and Pamela for paying that good turn forward as a gift to help animals in need.
