Special blessing to Pack Leader in Dogs for all the wonderful work they do on behalf of dogs. This is a wonderful site and I'm in love with Liberty Ann, one of their rescue kids.
About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.

She looks just like our boy, Max.
Aww! She’s gorgeous, I love her!
Knew you would.
A beautiful lady she is. And what a wonderful organization. The no kill shelter/hospital I work with is good that way too. What wonderful hearts indeed.

That’s wonderful you work with a great place like that. And, they are lucky to have you there.
What are those people thinking? Animals are not toys to be abused or neglected. Thank goodness for caring people who takes good care of other animals.
I guess part of the problem is they aren’t thinking, not intelligently or compassionately at any rate. And, yes thank goodness for caring people who help animals and people.
wonderful angels who care for animals. How can that be allowed?
Yes, thank goodness for the compassionate hearted people that help animals and us humans when we need it. In some places this can’t be allowed and is illegal but then not a high priority with legal enforcement and overburdened systems. That’s why advocates for animals are so important and valued because it is they who bring attention to these issues, usually through the press which brings pressure to bear.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I’ll be thinking of you today with your sweetie and mom mode Friday.
She is a lovely dog. It breaks my heart when I read about puppy mills.
I agree with you on that, Clowie. Tazzie was from a puppy mill and it took us years to undo the abuse in her. In the end she lived an extraordinary life to the ripe old age of 15+ which is ancient for a rottie. This beauty here reminded me of her plus she looks like our Max. Pulled at my heart strings.
Angels for animals. I am an animal lover (especially dogs) and we need more loving people to care!!
Thank you, Judy. I can assure you, you have already helped get some tails wagging at the shelter I donate all my profits to. From spending some time at your site I see you have so many talents that come from a beautiful heart, how you communicate to other, how you post to raise awareness of AIDS, and so many other things, have not gone unnoticed on this person here. It is no surprise you’re also a dog lover.
So beautiful. Our cat is a rescue cat and it makes me happy to provide a good and happy home for him. Animals deserve so much love.
Bless your sweet heart for adopting a rescue cat. I know exactly how you feel about making a happy home for your fury boy. Give him a little rubbie from me.
