Hello everybody.

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard.
I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well
taken care of.

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head;
he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the
hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.



An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside, resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour.
This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is
and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house
for a nap.'
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:
'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3-he's trying to catch up on his sleep.

Can I come with him tomorrow?

THat's what I thought, had seen it half a dozen times
before.
I got three or four lines in when I realized it was one of
those pieces that seem to travel from email box to email box forever, especially when net newbies first get it and send
it to everybody they know, including listservs, etc.

WHOTV reports that the two kittens, named Tipper and Skipper, were sealed in a Meow Mix bag with the rest of the litter and then left in the street. The bag had been run over by a vehicle, killing some of the kittens and making it difficult to tell exactly how many cats were inside. Somehow, Tipper and Skipper survived. "It was not a pretty sight," Linda Blakely from Iowa's Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary said.

That's when Reagan stepped in. He grabbed the bag, and carried it home. He didn't stop whining until his owner opened the bag. Covered in the blood and remains of the kittens who were killed, she found two seriously injured survivors.

"The instinct of the dog was to nurture and not kill the kittens. With all the blood some dogs would have responded to the scent. Reagan the dog is a hero," Blakely said.

Tipper and Skipper were traumatized and weak from the experience, and had to be
fed with a bottle every two hours. They have recovered, and are now available for adoption. Blakely believed their their survival is proof that there is always a way to make things right, and wanted to remind pet owners that there's
always a safe method to finding a new home for pets if you are unable to take care of them.
