Oh my goodness, as usual, you painted such vivid pictures with your words. Just beautiful and I remember this incredible story from years back… you retold it here SO wonderfully. What incredible persistence (again, as usual) from the PETA team. Wow.

Hoping we’ve noticed,

there’s a Golden Boy nearby.

Trusting that we care.

I would also like to thank PETA for all they do around the world to give a voice to those who cannot speak on their own behalf and for the loving help they have given me in the past with my rescue endeavors.

Your writing is so vibrant, I felt like I was watching this happen in a biographical film about Golden Boy.

PETA's emergency folks are priceless. They recently helped me and 3 other kind people who were sitting with an injured raccoon on the side of a busy street trying to figure out what to do. 💜
