“It’s important to remember that the animal world has so much to offer humans who suffer or struggle. As evidenced by seeing-eye dogs and disaster-relief animals, a daily offering of animal companionship is a gift that cannot even be valued. And if you choose to adopt, you would be offering them the gift of life. That’s called a win-win.”
-Maggie Q, when asked rescue dogs by the NY Times.
