A fictionalized account of Hope’s saga is included in Patricia Stanley’s “Shelter Stories From the Dog Adoption Ward,” a colorful collection of short stories on sale at the Tallahassee Animal Shelter. Hope’s story is called “On an Ordinary Day,” and though many liberties are taken, the fundamental pieces of her story are intact and sensitively retold. More information is available at www.pstanleybooks.com - all proceeds from sales will be applied to renovation of the TAS dog runs. Thanks to Patricia for including Hope in her writings and sharing a copy of her book with us.
Broken Puppy Blog
On Wednesday, August 26, I found this puppy (approx. eight months old) in the road with two broken legs. She is a wonderful animal and we are raising funds to cover the costs of surgery and rehab. Keep checking back for updates on her progress.
My wife Rebecca and I are musicians living in North Carolina. We have an awesome rescue dog named Domino (pictured above). Rebecca is a volunteer at the local humane society. From the Broken Puppy and all of us, thank you for your kindness!
UPDATE: Due to the tremendous response to Hope's struggles, we now feel that her medical expenses will be covered. We will not know the exact tally of costs associated with her rehabilitation until late November, but all estimates indicate that her needs have been met. Our gratitude for all who gave to her cause cannot be adequately expressed.
