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.

Michelle,
You are such a beautiful person for giving Sammy an ident*ity and a wonderful tribute. I, too, believe that Sammy's suffering was such a terrible tragedy and that he is such a beautiful soul, as all animals are. I know that there is a special place at The Bridge for Sammy and all of the others that fell victim to the true animals of this world. It's so comforting to know that people like you exist to fight in the crusade for all furbabies. I'm with you 100%. Our love for these animals will someday dominate and we will fight the abuse of our world's purest souls.

Dearest Little Sammy,
We love you and know that you will now be at peace and away from the horror that you endured here on Earth. Please accept my apology for the horrible side of the human race. For as many evil people there are out there, you have double that amount of people who love you without even knowing you. You will always be in my heart, sweet Sammy.
