When I read a post that said they were pretty sure he had a happy ending I could not dare to hope this was true but cynically thought that the remark was just a bandage for the raw emotion that was captured. 
But the proof is there in his smiling face. I love you both for the depth of your souls. God Bless You Both Always.....</description>

		<description>I know the outcome was good because I read the travel story first but this preface just made me sob like a baby.  God bless these saints that work so hard for these animals.  For you are reserved the highest levels of heaven.</description>

		<description>thank you so much for posting this story. All my animals or kids as we call them are from the shelters. I do not buy animals from private parties. I get from the shelters! Nico&#039;s pictures touched my heart. I am so glad that he is doing much better and is on his way to his forever home! Thank you Nico for the lessons that we humans can learn from you!</description>

		<description>Thank you Kelly for having such a big heart and making sure Nico finally found a real home. If you hadn&#039;t kept going back to the shelter to visit him, I hate to think what might have happened to him.

That picture of Nico at the shelter sort of reminds you of a person in a mental institution who has no hope.

Thanks to you Kim for writing Nico&#039;s story.  You have done an outstanding job.

Last, but definitely not least, thank you Louann for giving Nico a new lease on life.  I think the way I read it, you are now the proud owner of Nico.  You are both extremely lucky.</description>

		<description>I know the outcome was good because I read the travel story first but this preface just made me sob like a baby.  God bless these saints that work so hard for these animals.  For you are reserved the highest levels of heaven.</description>

		<description>thank you so much for posting this story. All my animals or kids as we call them are from the shelters. I do not buy animals from private parties. I get from the shelters! Nico&#039;s pictures touched my heart. I am so glad that he is doing much better and is on his way to his forever home! Thank you Nico for the lessons that we humans can learn from you!</description>

		<description>Thank you Kelly for having such a big heart and making sure Nico finally found a real home. If you hadn&#039;t kept going back to the shelter to visit him, I hate to think what might have happened to him.

That picture of Nico at the shelter sort of reminds you of a person in a mental institution who has no hope.

Thanks to you Kim for writing Nico&#039;s story.  You have done an outstanding job.

Last, but definitely not least, thank you Louann for giving Nico a new lease on life.  I think the way I read it, you are now the proud owner of Nico.  You are both extremely lucky.</description>

		<description>thank you so much for posting this story. All my animals or kids as we call them are from the shelters. I do not buy animals from private parties. I get from the shelters! Nico&#039;s pictures touched my heart. I am so glad that he is doing much better and is on his way to his forever home! Thank you Nico for the lessons that we humans can learn from you!</description>

		<description>Thank you Kelly for having such a big heart and making sure Nico finally found a real home. If you hadn&#039;t kept going back to the shelter to visit him, I hate to think what might have happened to him.

That picture of Nico at the shelter sort of reminds you of a person in a mental institution who has no hope.

Thanks to you Kim for writing Nico&#039;s story.  You have done an outstanding job.

Last, but definitely not least, thank you Louann for giving Nico a new lease on life.  I think the way I read it, you are now the proud owner of Nico.  You are both extremely lucky.</description>

		<description>When I first saw this picture I cringed and then cried. It tore through my heart with a pain and sadness that defied anything I felt before. When I read a post that said they were pretty sure he had a happy ending I could not dare to hope this was true but cynically thought that the remark was just a bandage for the raw emotion that was captured. 
But the proof is there in his smiling face. I love you both for the depth of your souls. God Bless You Both Always.....</description>

		<description>thank you so much for posting this story. All my animals or kids as we call them are from the shelters. I do not buy animals from private parties. I get from the shelters! Nico&#039;s pictures touched my heart. I am so glad that he is doing much better and is on his way to his forever home! Thank you Nico for the lessons that we humans can learn from you!</description>

		<description>Thank you Kelly for having such a big heart and making sure Nico finally found a real home. If you hadn&#039;t kept going back to the shelter to visit him, I hate to think what might have happened to him.

That picture of Nico at the shelter sort of reminds you of a person in a mental institution who has no hope.

Thanks to you Kim for writing Nico&#039;s story.  You have done an outstanding job.

Last, but definitely not least, thank you Louann for giving Nico a new lease on life.  I think the way I read it, you are now the proud owner of Nico.  You are both extremely lucky.</description>

		<description>When I first saw this picture I cringed and then cried. It tore through my heart with a pain and sadness that defied anything I felt before. When I read a post that said they were pretty sure he had a happy ending I could not dare to hope this was true but cynically thought that the remark was just a bandage for the raw emotion that was captured. 
But the proof is there in his smiling face. I love you both for the depth of your souls. God Bless You Both Always.....</description>

		<description>thank you so much for posting this story. All my animals or kids as we call them are from the shelters. I do not buy animals from private parties. I get from the shelters! Nico&#039;s pictures touched my heart. I am so glad that he is doing much better and is on his way to his forever home! Thank you Nico for the lessons that we humans can learn from you!</description>

		<description>Thank you Kelly for having such a big heart and making sure Nico finally found a real home. If you hadn&#039;t kept going back to the shelter to visit him, I hate to think what might have happened to him.

That picture of Nico at the shelter sort of reminds you of a person in a mental institution who has no hope.

Thanks to you Kim for writing Nico&#039;s story.  You have done an outstanding job.

Last, but definitely not least, thank you Louann for giving Nico a new lease on life.  I think the way I read it, you are now the proud owner of Nico.  You are both extremely lucky.</description>

		<description>When I first saw this picture I cringed and then cried. It tore through my heart with a pain and sadness that defied anything I felt before. When I read a post that said they were pretty sure he had a happy ending I could not dare to hope this was true but cynically thought that the remark was just a bandage for the raw emotion that was captured. 
But the proof is there in his smiling face. I love you both for the depth of your souls. God Bless You Both Always.....</description>

		<description>I know the outcome was good because I read the travel story first but this preface just made me sob like a baby.  God bless these saints that work so hard for these animals.  For you are reserved the highest levels of heaven.</description>

		<description>thank you so much for posting this story. All my animals or kids as we call them are from the shelters. I do not buy animals from private parties. I get from the shelters! Nico&#039;s pictures touched my heart. I am so glad that he is doing much better and is on his way to his forever home! Thank you Nico for the lessons that we humans can learn from you!</description>

		<description>Thank you Kelly for having such a big heart and making sure Nico finally found a real home. If you hadn&#039;t kept going back to the shelter to visit him, I hate to think what might have happened to him.

That picture of Nico at the shelter sort of reminds you of a person in a mental institution who has no hope.

Thanks to you Kim for writing Nico&#039;s story.  You have done an outstanding job.

Last, but definitely not least, thank you Louann for giving Nico a new lease on life.  I think the way I read it, you are now the proud owner of Nico.  You are both extremely lucky.</description>

		<description>that is one of the saddest photo&#039;s i have seen in a long time. bully breeds are bully&#039;s because people make them that way. my rescue was so gentle we called her baby. I have five more and they are looking at me right now wondering why their mom is crying. he looks like a sweet,proud boy driving in the car.</description>
