Today we said goodbye to Patrick “the Miracle Dog”!
Patrick was starved and thrown out like he was garbage but he survived. He lived another 15 plus years until today when his body could do no more.
Patrick loved people despite the abuse he suffered at the hands of a few bad people. He thrived and inspired us all to be better. Thank you to all of his followers on Facebook, this is the end of his story but the beginning for many others. Love you, Patrick!

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home. a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.
-Melody Beattie
