I am just 4 years old and I was having a bad time when I lived in Turkey. I lived near the forest and when a boy found me I was very skinny and I was scared. I was afraid because I couldn’t see- something was wrong with my eyes- and I was bumping into things. Some dogs went to live inside the forest but not me because I knew some mean dogs lived there and they would bite me. When I came to the shelter there I felt safer and after a while I was riding in a truck and then flying in an airplane and meeting new people and riding some more and it was all scary because I couldn’t see. The other dogs with me explained what was going on so that helped. One day they said I was going to have my eyes fixed so I could see again. Things wouldn’t be fuzzy anymore and I wouldn’t keep bumping into stuff. Now I my eyes are better and everything looks much clearer and I can see my new family. Yes, I have a new family which is a mom, a dad, two kids and a very large brother dog who kind of looks like me – only bigger. I would never have guessed that I’d ever be able to see again or have a home. I think I had a magic angel on my shoulder the whole time-keeping me safe and making sure I would have this happy ending. Thanks a million to everyone and especially to my sponsors Mark and Kristin Hansford who made so much possible. Gratefully, Patriot
