To #2621 (one Of Vick's Unfortunates) Options

[Lucy1Josie2]

Dear #2621 --

I read on CNN.com that you're one of the 49 dogs seized from Michael Vick's awful sideline, and that you are the only one to be euthanized because you are just too far gone and cannot be around human beings. Not that you've been around human beings for quite a while now. You've been with monsters who look like human beings, and now you just can't tell the difference. That's not your fault. None of it is your fault.

And I don't like to read about you as just a number. I'd like to see you as the wonderful dog you could have been, and are deep inside, if you had had the care and healthy excercise and affection you should have had, and that makes you more than just "# 2621". So in my head, I'm going to call you Sammy, because I don't think I could be afraid of a dog named Sammy, and that brings out the wonderful in you.

So Sammy (or the artist formerly known as # 2621), rest in peace, my good dog. I see you as your Creator sees you -- the you that you were meant to be -- and you're beautiful beyond words.

-- Michelle K.

I think Sammy is a wonderful name for that sweet dog, who died for doing what he was taught to do.

Rest in peace Sammy.
