If something happened this week that has you going into your weekend lacking faith in mankind, please do all you can to let it go. National Mill Dog Rescue would like to show you a photo of our future...
Last week, a very generous young lady had her 9th birthday party at National Mill Dog Rescue's kennel. Instead of asking for presents, she asked for donations for NMDR. Katie, the birthday girl, is in the middle of the photo, holding Pippi the rescued Shih Tzu.
We would like to share a quote from Katie's Dad, in reference to the facebook post that occurred at the moment that Katie's birthday party was going on at the kennel...
"Thank you so much for having us at the kennel, we have been checking in and reading the comments. They are priceless and have confirmed for Katie she did the right thing. Complete strangers praising her actions can not be beat and it is better then any gift wrapped package she might have received. Being a proud parent is an understatement."
The kids enjoyed socializing with a few of the furry residents at the kennel. Here's a pic of the kids lovin' on Cady the Boxer....
National Mill Dog Rescue would like to thank Katie, not only for her generous donation, but for inspiring our whole organization and our readers to be better people. If a 9 year-old can keep the love of dogs first and foremost in her heart, then we know there is hope that dogs can and will be treated as loved family members, now, and for generations to come.
Thank you Katie.
YOU ROCK KATIE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Katie - if all children could be as selfless as you are, this world would be a truly beautiful and loving place to live!
