Here is a feel good story for Christmas. Brought tears to my eyes

by Gordon Sinclair, Winnipeg Free Press
The pencil-printed letter, in the unmistakable hand of a child, was contained on a single piece of lined, three-ringed binder paper.

And addressed to the Free Press.

"Dear Sir

"My name is Calli Vanderaa.

"I'm 9 years old and I live with my daddy.

"One day we found a little puppy in the BFI bin in our lane. Somebody had put 3 puppies in there and set them on fire.

"Two of the puppies died but daddy and I saved one that was sitting in the corner crying. We took her home and named her Jessie. She is happy and growing bigger every day..."

The return address was a house in a section of the North End that is, arguably, the most dangerous neighbourhood in the city.

Read entire story here: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/a_little_girl_a_puppy_and_some_humanity.html#comments
I'd like to donate some dog food to this little girl. If someone knows how to reach them please PM me and I'll drop the food off.

Did he really need to add that? (Isn't it obvious?)

BTW.. who the heck burns puppies to get rid of them? When did tieing them in a sack on tossing them in the river go out of style?
