Hi Folks!

This is Marion Lindsay, happy owner of the former AAS dog, Kito, a yellow lab/husky. We love him dearly, and are so lucky to have found him. He has brought double the joy to our home, as we now have 2 wonderful dogs as members of our family. Kito has a little brother, 11 month old yellow lab, Elvis, and they play well together.

Thanks for all you do, AAS !

Here below you will find a poem I wrote today about Kito...

"KITO'S MY NAME"

Kito's my name,

Chasing balls is my game.

I once was chained, day and night,

But lucky for me, there was someone to fight,

For me, and all the others like me,

Called "The Animal Advocates Society".

I once was sad, hungry, and thin,

Till some kind people took me in.

They gave me shelter, took me in from the cold,

Loved me freely,with their hearts of gold.

They placed my picture on the internet,

Trusting that someone was wanting a pet.

Along came Marion, who fell for my face,

Wanting to take me home to her place.

She e-mailed a note, enquiring of me,

The rest, of course, is history.

Now I run free on the trails every day,

No more chains, in the house I stay.

I have a little brother who likes to tease,

He steals my ball, saying chase me please.

My family loves me, I love them too,

Kito says "thank-you", from me to you.

There are many more just like me,

I hope some day they will all run free,

And learn to trust humans once again,

When love has broken all their chains.
