Thank you for covering this story, it's so important to constantly remind people that animals FEEL all the emotions we do - sorrow, frustration, joy, etc. They deserve our respect. And thank you to all the animal sanctuaries for the endless work they do to provide safety and love to their resident animals ❤

    Double plot twist: apparently, she has a husband. This is going to be made into a movie. Suggestions for actors: Gal Gadot for the female lead; Brad Pitt for the male lead and Ed O'Neil for the home-alone husband?
