“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring – it was peace”.

— Milan Kundera

There is a wonderful update on the Bestfriends Animal Society website (www.bestfriends.org)  featuring former Michael Vick dog Lucas. 

The conditions for Lucas going to Bestfriends were that he would not be eligible for adoption and would live his life at Bestfriends.

He has many friends now, both dog and human at the sanctuary.  He is so friendly with people, that he spends a couple of days a week helping out in the office.  And he loves to go for rides in the golf cart.

It’s a wonderful article on a dog who was given a chance.  Check it out!
