| JOSH'S STORY |
In Auburn, Alabama, the animal cruelty investigator of the humane
society was called to check on six dogs that were reportedly living
in a crawl space under a rundown house badly in need of repair. The
investigator located the dogs and owner, a woman who was living in a
room of the house, renting space there. The six dogs living under
the house were malnourished and diseased, and sadly, only two
survived. The woman herself was in need of help, as she is mentally
impaired and had become a "hoarder," living out of dumpsters and
collecting old clothing and broken items, which she stored in her
room. She was not able to provide food or health care for herself or
for the dogs, although her affection for the animals was apparent.
Although this neglect constituted animal cruelty, no charges were
pressed. Social services and community help were needed, and they
are presently aiding her, while the dogs came to Lee County Humane
Shelter and were evaluated by a veterinarian. The black terrier, now
named "Josh," was a 2 yr. old dog who went to a foster home for a
month. We then adopted him Aug. 1 and he came to live with our two
other adopted shelter dogs, Peaches (14 years), and poodle/terrier
Gracie (2 years). Josh was very thin and shy. He joined these two in
receiving our animal product
with his evening meal. He has blossomed with his new diet, and in
three months we have seen his ribs disappear under a new glossy
coat, and his energy level allows him to keep up and out-run our
exuberant Gracie. His shyness was replaced with playfulness and
eagerness, as he thrived under good care and the nutrition provided
by the algae added to his food. I believe the algae has been the
major reason all our dogs have lived long, healthy lives, and I would
not fail to provide this support to our canine family, while enjoying
and appreciating the benefits I myself receive from these products.
