Be forewarned: Reggie hates the vet. The dog’s head whipped up, his ears cocked and his eyes bright.Finally I found it, but before I could punch up the shelter’s number, I also found his pad and other toys from the shelter. Ball? Everyone waves when you pass them on the street.To Whoever Gets My Dog: Well, I can’t say that I’m happy you’re reading this, a letter I told the shelter could only be opened by Reggie’s new owner. What an amazingly touching story.
Oh yes, the tears, and steadying myself for a bad ending to this story, they are now tears of joy mixed with sadness for Tank's original owner, his sacrifice in Iraq, his touching last letter on behalf of TANK….soooo happy Tank has a loving owner/guardian now. Good luck getting him in the car – I don’t know how he knows when it’s time to go to the vet, but he knows.That unconditional love from a dog is what I took with me to Iraq as an inspiration to do something selfless, to protect innocent people from those who would do terrible things… and to keep those terrible people from coming over here. I remembered leaving it on the stack of boxes for the guest room, but I also mumbled, rather cynically, that the “damn dog probably hid it on me.”Oh yes, the tears, and steadying myself for a bad ending to this story, they are now tears of joy mixed with sadness for Tank's original owner, his sacrifice in Iraq, his touching last letter on behalf of TANK….soooo happy Tank has a loving owner/guardian now.
Maybe the shelter staff already told you, but I’ll go over them again: Reggie knows the obvious ones – “sit,” “stay,” “come,” “heel.” He knows hand signals: “back” to turn around and go back when you put your hand straight up; and “over” if you put your hand out right or left.
!But something was still missing as I attempted to settle in to my new life here, and I thought a dog couldn’t hurt. View our favorites here.
He knows “ball” and “food” and “bone” and “treat” like nobody’s business.Again, if you’re reading this and you’re from the area, maybe my name has been on the news. Give him a good home, and give him an extra kiss goodnight – every night – from me.o my gosh this is the best storey i have ever read and yes i cried sooooooo hard…i printed it so i would always have it!Division Headquaters would have that informnation. He thought it was his own personal water park everyday, but he's 14 and he's got great athletic abilities, and I'm not close to either of those things," she adds. Anyone that is not touched by this has no heart to touch! "The ball was yellow and in the film it is red," says Belon, referring to one of her son's Christmas gifts.
And if you’re reading this, then he made good on his word.But I hung up when I saw the sealed envelope. Thank goodness she read the letter, and how incredible that Tank's first human wrote it for him.
