Morning coffee break: meet Riley!

by dorne Whale Nov 25, 2015Nov 26, 2015

You’ll need your hankies for this one, but it is so worth it. Tears of disbelief and of joy, and hope. There are some good things to celebrate in this mad world.

Riley was rescued and helped his family. Isn’t this always the case with animals?

Watch the video and you’ll see what I mean.

Thanks for dropping by and have a good day.

Until the next time.

Well hello there and thank you for dropping by here. I'm a middle-aged Yorkshire lass, who sometimes screws my writing head on and produces articles. Amongst other publications, I have been published in Dog's Monthly and The Guardian. I mostly write about animals ( I've been rescued by two adopted greyhounds), but, I am happy to write about any topic really. I have fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism, and my hubby has Parkinson's disease, so life is a challenge at times. On this blog I have a good old moan, try to offer advice and have a good laugh at myself. So, join me on my journey... as I visit the hospital - yet again and wear rather too much purple. Thanks for reading. Dorne x View all posts by dorne Whale

Very hard to watch indeed. My son’s dog is named Riley. What a contrast of the two lives. Our Riley has never had a mean day in his life. Glad this film had a happy ending.

  Yes, it was very hard to watch and I nearly didn’t post it. But, I think sometimes animals can teach us vital lessons and this has such a positive ending. It’s hard to imagine how anyone could dump a poor puppy in such a place…to die! What goes through such a person’s head? x

    I am always thinking…..why did I post this or that. But you never know when it might touch someone. Every bit of kindness hopefully sparks another.

    Yes, I question most of my posts, comments and tweets! But, as you say there may be someone out there that gets something from it. Life is too short! And there is more hope than the media would have us believe. x

Excellent. Most animals are so much better than so many people.

I didn’t watch the video because I am at work, and it sounds like I will cry. I will check it out tonight when I get home. Thanks for loving animals, though, and Happy Thanksgiving!

  I think you will cry…I did. But, it has a great ending.
  Thanks for taking the time to comment and I hope you enjoy it when you watch it.
  Happy Thanksgiving to you. We don’t celebrate here in England; but I’ll celebrate with you all in spirit!
