    The other message is that being good pet parents isn't about money. With a little help, people with very little can do amazing things.

      I think the dog is very grateful for Mary as well, because it seems like she doesn't even wanna be apart from Mary at all! Every step Mary takes, Laila looks at her as if she's afraid to be left alone again. I'm so happy for them both.

  • @jenellbarnes4231

      Mary reminded me of a nurse many years ago. Our first child (I've just got off a video call with him, his wife and their first child, also a son ❤❤❤) about 13-14 months old, fell over and cracked his forehead open on the edge of some furniture. The ER was 20 miles away and he was crying all the way.
      By the time we got there he had a huge lump on his head, which had a cut, but I'd been holding a cold wet flannel to it all the way as Hubby drove. The receptionist got us in quickly (babies always have priority if nothing more serious is going on) and this senior nurse, a West Indian lady who was much like Mary in character (you can see they have nothing but love in their hearts) came into the room with a huge smile on her face. Having lived in a West Indian area of London, I relaxed immediately, because I'd met other ladies like her. They'd always been kind to me when I was alone there and so I'm always predisposed to like them!
      My son stopped crying, went to her, sat on her lap... He fell in love with her immediately! (As did we!) She gave him some butterfly stitches before getting a doc to make sure he wasn't concussed or anything bad - she said she thought he was fine but you don't take chances with babies - and we were soon discharged. We were apologising for wasting their time, they were saying come back immediately if he does even the exact same thing, that parents shouldn't apologise for worrying about their kids, etc.
      She taught me about being unapologetic when it came to my baby's health, something I am not genetically disposed to be (no, not Canadian. British. Where do you think Canadians get their need to say sorry from? 😂) It was a useful lesson as I had 3 more kids in the next 4 years! I turned into Mama Bear when it came to protecting my kids, even when they were teens. They're all either side of 30 now and I haven't changed one bit!
      I'm sure that given the training, Mary would be as excellent a nurse as that lady was. She just oozes love and goodness. Much as I obviously want all good blessings for everyone at the charity, I also want the same for Mary and her family and neighbours. If only I were rich...
      Hmm, I know of an ultra rich S African who could change everything in that township without noticing the minor dent in his bank accounts. Pity he's such a racist creep 🤬

    So-called “aggressive” animals are almost always just terrified. Dogs, cats, horses…they are traumatized, and simply defending themselves from a perceived threat, after enduring countless real threats.

    • @anandsharma7430
      @anandsharma7430 14 днів тому +1

      Well said. That's also the case with many people (not bullies). Same defence mechanisms - suspicion, aggression, distrust, disbelief in good intentions, etc. Of course, humans, having larger brains, and having experience more elaborate deceptions, take more time to come around.

Laila 's original owner wasn't inherently bad, and ther ARE bad people abusing animals out there, but rather was uneducated as to how to separate dogs and train them. Laila was frightened, not aggressive.
