Dear Cathy,<\/span><\/p>\n

Your column often reminds me of our first dog \u2013 a sweet beagle who literally adopted us. One night, she was sitting in the garage when I came out to put newspapers into recycling. That poor dog cowered and crawled backwards to get away. I can\u2019t imagine how mistreated she must have been in her previous home. Thank goodness, she picked a home that made her queen of the palace for the next 13 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Dick,<\/span><\/p>\n

Sitting in your garage, eh? She chose you for a reason. I think animals can sense kindness, and taking in a lost soul has got to be the ultimate kindness. Thanks for giving her a loving \u201cpalace\u201d where she could feel safe for the remainder of her life. Sounds like a match made in heaven.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
