Being nosey i looked found this puppy looking up silently, shouting to be rescued, nobody else was listening except the ears to my heart.

Sammie please forgive my intrusion into your day also for what i ask! I have renamed a certain album "Brave", which i would like you to look at, i apologise because it may upset you that is not my intent. You kindly favoured one of the photos, the response from you and other VB members, inspired me to object to the cruelty of animals. VB used to do journals but i'm not sure how to do that let me know what you think. Please take in account the titles and details beneath many thanks and please forgive the subject matter. Regards Pat.

Just look at that beautiful, but sad little face :( Very heartwrenching. I can see from your other comments (on the rest of the album) that you tried to help this beautiful creature. Brought tears to my eyes and serves as a timely reminder of how cruel and careless mankind can be. A very thought provoking set of pictures.
