I read the rescue thread last night and wanted to tell you how truly sorry I am. By your actions, you've inspired more people to try to help the helpless, and Z's legacy is a shining example of the value of kindness. As someone who works in animal rescue, I keep this prayer on my wall and I thought I would share it as you were truly an answer to Z's unspoken prayers.
Prayer for Animals
Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat for them Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion, and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us ourselves to be true friends to animals and so to share the blessings of the merciful.
