Gentle BEN -- Blind Yet More Sighted Than Most
Sometimes, the blind see better than those with sight. Sometimes, our heart can overcome obstacles even though broken. Sometimes, what starts out as the worst of the worst, can become the best of the best! Sometimes -- just sometimes -- the one who needs the most help is the one who gives you so much including a reason to carry on. At ARWNY, that "SOMETIMES" is reflected in our newest dog in need -- BEN! Gentle Ben has had the worst of the worst -- living in an Arkansas puppymill with "inadequate" housing and allowed to suffer with glaucoma and PRA with no help. But through it all, this 6-8 year old gentle giant of a dog maintained the true Akita dignity and the true spirit of love! Any kind hand is given a lick, a tail wag, and the thanks for the smallest of kindness. Ben now needs us all -- he needs to have his eyes removed to lessen the pain of advanced glaucoma and secondary PRA and to be treated for several tick borne diseases. Yes, we know -- he is a senior. HMMM I wonder if my dad at 86 would want to hear "sorry you are too old for our care!" Ben may be old in years, but he is young in spirit and after all the heartache he has had in his life, wouldn't it be nice for us to offer him some kindness and take away his pain in his remaining years? Ben is with the Dimon family who will foster him until he is healed and ready for his new home. We ask you to join in our efforts to help this kind boy! You can read more about his story that involved MANY people's help from the HSUS to the littlest of them -- young 10 year old Arizona Dimon who reads a bedtime story each night to her new friend, Ben. To read about Ben, here is the most recent interview done by the United Animal Nations. http://unitedanimalnations.blogspot.com/search/label/Logan%20County%20Puppy%20Mill%202009 THEN if you want to show you care, send something for Ben's operations and rehab! We can guarantee you it is worth it. And remember -- sometimes the smallest of gifts can reap the biggest of rewards! The smile from Ben will make your year complete and your heart soar -- sometimes a dollar can give you a dream come true!
