Lionel

April says: "This is Lionel. He and his brother Ritchie were abandoned and my fiance found them. They were two-weeks-old, covered in ticks, skinny and filthy. Now they are fat happy puppies that will hopefully be adopted by a wonderful family when they are old enough."

It's wonderful to know that Lionel and Ritchie are being taken care of and loved!

The Kitten and The Marine
A story that will pull at your heartstrings - historical context for this squee picture below.
"Accepting her fate as an orphan of war, 'Miss Hap' a two-week old Korean kitten chows down on canned milk, piped to her by medicine dropper with the help of Marine Sergeant Frank Praytor ... The Marine adopted the kitten after its mother was killed by a mortar barrage near Bunker Hill. The name, Miss Hap, Sergeant Praytor explained, was given to the kitten 'because she was born at the wrong place at the wrong time'." - Korea, ca 1953
