Story: This is my dog, Cowboy. I met him while I was working at an animal shelter, shortly after I got out of a very abusive relationship. He had been badly abused and left to die on the side of a highway. When I heard his story and saw the need in his big brown eyes, I realized that we could help each other, and decided to adopt him. I helped take care of Cowboy's injury and helped him get over his fear of people, and he returned the favor by showing me the love I needed to recover from my ordeal.
