Happy Ending

Happy Ending On a quiet tree lined street A 3 year old living in squalor. Never outside ,no one knew he was there. Mother left grandmother to see to his care. One old and sick dog left outdoors , saved him because one person cared. No one saw or heard the 19 live and dead animals at the end ,found inside. Grandmother taken to hospital. Child now thriving , happy in foster care. True story Anne Rutherford 11/19/14.

It brings tears to the eyes dear, Anne. Thank you for sharing. Fortunately there are good people everywhere that do God's work but no one seems to care to listen for people care only for the dramatic and cruel! God bless you my, dear Anne!
