After the Tornado.

( Greensburg , Ks.)
The
story begins with the rescuers finding this poor little guy they named Ralphie.
Someone
had already taken him under their wing but weren't equipped to adopt;

Ralphie, scared and starved, joined his rescuers...

I
wouldn't think anything could live thru this...
but
we were wrong.

This
little lady also survived that wreckage.

Here
she is just placed in the car - scared, but safe.

and
then...they are no longer alone!

Instant
friends, they comforted each other while in the car.

Add
two more beagles found after that...
the
more, the merrier!

Oh
boy, a new traveler to add to the mix...
(note:
the cat coming over the seat needing shelter...)
now
just how is this going to work???
(and
remember they are all strange to one another )

It's
going to work just fine, thank you very much!

Wow!
The things we learn from our animal friends...
If
only all of mankind could learn such valuable lessons
as
this. Lessons of instant friendship. Of peace and harmony
by
way of respect for one another -- no matter one's color or creed.
These
animals tell you... 'It's just good to be alive and with others.'
Yes,
it surely is.
So...
Live, Love, Laugh.
'Life's a Gift... Unwrap It!'
