Good News
Yes, there is always some good news in the world. We just have to find it. And here’s one good news story. Josie Conlon rescued an abused border collie. The dog was never affectionate, having been so badly treated, but he suddenly started jumping on her, crying and nuzzling her chest. When she went to the doctor they found a stage three cancer. The detection of this tumor saved her life.
Yay for that border collie and yay for the kind woman who saved him, so he could save her.
