    Elderly couple and dog on a rocky beach, highlighting the paw-sitive impact of pet companionship.

    Having a family. Or not. Sometimes, it's just not your choice. And when you realise that, it opens a deep wound, one that's hard to understand and impossible to heal. Every day I used to see the joy of having a family on the faces of others, and I asked myself: What did I do wrong? Is all that just for the lucky few? And the days passed by, then the years, until we found each other. Suddenly, everything changed. That great big gaping hole in my life suddenly got filled with good memories. They say blood is thicker than water. But I discovered that family is thicker than blood. Who saves who.

    Scruffy shelter dog looking hopeful in a Pedigree ad, showcasing the positive impact of dog adoption globally.

    He may be small, but you should see his heart. Shelter dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human, we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The anes dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness by your side.
