A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
May you be so fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude 🙏

When I was 5, I would curl up in the lap of my dog while I slept. When my mom came in to get me up, my dog growled at her. I never understood why until much later.
I was taken away by the police due to abuse and my dog was protecting me. I spent the next 3 years in several foster homes. I don’t remember much, except the dogs. Every home that had a dog, was the dog that I latched on to. It was the dog that accepted me for who I was when everyone I knew abandoned me.
Later I was adopted. They also had a dog that became my best friend.
As I grew up, I always had a dog by my side. I am now a fully grown adult with children of my own and we all agree, our dog is their favorite sibling and our best kid…lol. This is Grubbs:
He is my emotional support animal. And I need him as much as he needs me. Due to my childhood traumas, I carry tremendous pain and he is the best medicine for me.
When I look back at my life, I can’t say one dog changed my world, rather dogs made my world worth living in. I could never express my gratitude enough. Thank Dog I’m even here today!

Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease and we must find a cure. But we cannot allow pharmaceutical companies to bankrupt Medicare in the process. We must substantially lower the price that Medicare pays for prescription drugs like Leqembi, and HHS has the power to do just that.
