Yesterday I discovered a delightful, heartwarming side story to the royal wedding that I hadn't realised before. Really it's a side story about Meghan Markle's kindness. She has two dogs, one is a rescue dog, a beagle named Guy, who is now living the life of a prince in England with her. His story is quite amazing: being found alone in the woods of Kentucky to being taken to a shelter, not being adopted and put on the euthanasia list. Then being accepted by a beagle rescue organisation in Ontario and with the help of a chain of volunteers who each drove him an hour closer to Canada, arriving at the rescue and being in an adoption event. Someone there fell in love with him and knew he was the dog for her. Meghan Markle. Rumours have it (although I'm not sure how true they are) that he sat with the Queen in her car on the way to the wedding.
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/18/meghan-markle-rescue-dog-royal-wedding I'm thrilled that this story is getting such publicity. All of my three present pets are rescues. For me it's the only way to go although of course any animal in a loving home is a huge bonus. But rescues are special. My sweetheart Trixie was also a rescue dog. There are so many pets out there awaiting their furever home...please check out all the local rescue organisations and even if you're not looking for a new pet at the moment, please consider donating your time, energy or money to help their causes. I donate regularly to a local cat rescue, Kitty Kare. Such organisations do selfless work in rescuing and helping abandoned animals, usually recruiting only volunteers. Of course, not every abandoned animal will live as a prince like Guy, at least not in your eyes...but in their eyes, your secure, loving, furever home will be as good as any palace.
