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.

Tara when we got her 16/2/13 when she was 6 weeks old.
What a cutey.
Yes, she is.
A lovely looking dog. Glad to hear she found a good home.
She is a cutey. I love that photo of Mats holding her where she looks so content.
Thanks for the reblog, it was especially for you. I was initially going to send you the pics then I thought I might as well share it on the blog. 😀
Very happy you shared your gorgeous girl with the world. It’s a heartwarming heart-opening story and photos. I especially love that second one with Mats holding her. The look on her face says it all. One of my all time fav furry photos. Auntie sis-paw and the waggers this end.

Oh, love her … so much like my Baby Rae! I didn’t know what I was getting into when Baby Rae found me– but cattle dogs are just dang magical. This baby is for sure; I can see it–she makes me smile BIG.
And, I love that you two (Ela & Lee)connected–like mom’s with their kids in the same school together, lol. Love this wonderful, adorable breed and your two furry girls. Bless you both for saving their lives.
