Ford he ate dried horse food and survived 3 stomach operations and Sepsis and pneumonia..we don’t know how he did it but we love him to death.The vet said he is a miracle dog ❤️
He is the incentive for getting up early every morning to go for a walk in our local countryside, which is also helping my weight loss and fitness goals.
He is extremely entertaining, very mischievous, and loves to steal anything he can get his little teeth in to, especially my socks!!
Harvey is a very loving dog, likes kisses and cuddles, and is happiest when having a snooze on my lap.
My life has certainly been enhanced by having my gorgeous Harvey in it!
This is our little monster Frankie! Having a dog has made lockdown so much more bareable. Not only does it mean that you are forced to muster the get up and go to get out and on a walk with her after which you always feel better but she also provides the whole family with love and laughter. We can't imagine our lives without her and we would definitely have been much worse off emotionally during this lockdown period without her.
In March 2017, my life as I knew it, ended.
My mum died of pancreatic cancer, after being ill for just 8 days, leaving me with no relatives and no home. Eventually I was given a bungalow by the housing association and moved in early May. I was coming to terms with being alone for the first time in my life, and in September, this little splodge toddled into my life after his owners couldn't keep him any longer, two days after I met him. He has deformed front legs, big soft floppy ears, eyes like saucers, and a heart as big as a house. His name is MR.Benn and he's not a rescue dog, I'm a rescue person. He came to me just when I needed a friend. His breed is Norfolk cross Jack Russell terrier, commonly known as a Norjack. But I prefer to think of him as a Jackanory, because thanks to him, I've found my happy ever after.
This is my daughter and her assistance dog, Maya. My daughter has lived with mental health illness and suicidal ideation with one attempt for 6 years. This dog is a huge part of why my daughter is recovering. When she was at her lowest, Maya rarely left her side.
