Dogs love unconditionally, forgive easily, and are happy effortlessly. Dogs don’t care about the colour of our skin, the size of our bank accounts nor our IQs, astrological signs, or zip codes. They accept us as companions as easily (and sometimes more easily) than they chum up with other dogs and, remarkably, they seem just as willing to love and nurture other non-canines as well, as the following stories show.

Pepper and Booberry had a lot in common.
Pepper looked like a Shih Tzu but nobody was certain.
The abused and abandoned dog was found urine-soaked, flea-ridden, and
battling a raging urinary tract infection.
Tumours on her back made it look bent. Booberry, a blue Chihuahua who
was more ear than body, was found in a dumpster suffering from
parvovirus. Both were resident at a shelter that euthanized far too
many dogs every day. Both were hopeless and both were close to their
last days on earth.
