I signed up with a local animal shelter to take their dogs out for walks. Today was the first day out and they gave me, Chloe, a 2 yr old pup acquired from another shelter who's never had a family of her own. She's a wonderful dog: calm, even tempered, and very friendly and affectionate.
My dog died suddenly a few months ago. I might need this as much as the shelter dogs do.
I need dogs in my life.

Not got another furry companion yet.
Something special about dogs.

They're great. Personally, I like them better than most people.
@Sgt_Spanky Me too
How much does Chloe weigh ? My pit / lab mix ( so I'm told ) is a little over 2 y.o. ( so I'm told). He weighs around 34 lbs.

She looks so wonderful, and happy to be out and about. Words that a great many of us scoff at here, magic, heaven, all of that, and wonder wrapped up in a furry little package. And don't forget love. You're going to want to adopt them all, but Chloe there looks like a wonderful candidate for you.

I'm not a dog person but that's a great thing you're doing, well done and I'm sure they pay you back in spades with love and affection for a little stroll.

Chloe certainly did.
@Sgt_Spanky Your book “To Wish....” on Kindle has mainly five-star reviews. I rarely read fiction but I downloaded a sample. BTW, IMO we humans don’t deserve dogs.

You got that right. What did humans ever do to deserve dogs? Hope you enjoy the book.
@Sgt_Spanky didn't they effectively adopt us - it's like they realized they needed us. But unfortunately there still too many psychopaths among us.
What a lovely programme 
might be difficult not to adopt one within the next 6 months though

The shelter has room for about thirty dogs and only 6 cages were occupied so that was a good sign.
If some one said god sent dogs I might believe them.

Aww, thanks. I did good.
@Sgt_Spanky Yes. Yes, you did!!!!
@Sgt_Spanky you did more than good. You helped that precious pup get out for a bit and you helped your heart heal some! Great thing you did by helping out at the shelter!
@Redheadedgammy There was a dog named Isis (bad name) that had the saddest eyes. I wanted to take her but she's wearing a cone so until it comes off she's not allowed out. She lost her family due to the HOA restrictions where they moved. I want to take Isis out as soon as I can get her.
And dogs need u ♥️♥️♥️ Hello chloe ♥️
