"I’m not sure I have the space or time to explain how much these dogs changed my life and gave me purpose, meaning, responsibility, a direction, a simple pick-me-up, and a smile on a bad day, and how God continues to use even them to teach me lessons daily. I truly believe He put them in my path.
I was just, at the time, barely six months sober out of rehab after almost 20 years of alcohol abuse when these dogs came into my life. I laughably thought I was the one saving these dogs and giving them a second chance. Maybe I did give them a home, but I know this: my life, in some ways, has had harder moments sober than it was before. There have been some rough days.
Three and a half years later, still here, still sober, still surrounded by unfiltered, unending love without any demands in return. If that isn’t the definition of man’s best friend, I don’t know what is." - Scott

Scott's story is one of the more moving ones from Underdogs Volume 1. The value dogs bring into our lives transcends just joy and companionship. It is oftentimes a whole different level of emotional support. Sometimes we see that coming, and sometimes we don't.
Volume 2 is currently in the works. If you'd like more information about it and how you can be part of it, please message me.
