Dear wee Jenny was being kept in a closet by a dysfunctional family where the children were allowed to kick her.  The family’s social worker phoned AAS, as so many social workers have, and asked us to take her.  We didn’t ask any questions, we just said, “Yes”. Now she is treasured by a family who takes her out for hikes and to the beach every day.  Social workers, off-duty police, lawyers, nurses, wealthy West Side matrons,  East Van grandmothers, off-duty pound employees, and a host of people from every walk of life rescue dogs every day.  Bless every one of them.
