The mother had her puppies taken away from her again.
She scratched at the door crying for her pup.
Then she put her head down on the floor in utter despair.
The puppy's siblings had been crying, trying to get through the door to bring their brother back.
Then I saw the one puppy rest his forehead on his mother's head to comfort her as she grieved.
For hours after that the mother scratched on the floor of the kennel.
I think she was trying to escape through the floor from the cycle of pregnancy and losing her pups repeatedly.
I also think she wanted to save her other pups from being taken away.
If anyone wants to tell me that animals don't have feelings, I beg to differ.
The utter agony and defeat I saw in that animal mother's face was beyond bearing ...
I sometimes still awake at night, thinking I hear that agonised scratching sound on the wood of the kennel floor again.
A candle has been lit in remembrance of fellow creatures on this earth, and for all who help them.
Much suffering is experienced by animals in puppy mills.
In the spirit of Lumiere is there anything you can do to help?
In the book of Genesis humanity was given the ultimate privilege of stewardship over all creatures.
The stewardship of God is one of affection, kindness and mercy.
The stewardship of humanity in its noblest form reflects these values.
Are you called to be a voice for the vulnerable animal?
Let us protect those weaker than ourselves.
What can be done to help the innocent animals of our world?
Why not consider becoming a veterinarian?
Possibly you might feel the call to rescue and assist animals being subjected to cruelty.
Why not adopt a dog from your local Rescue Society?
Another option is to volunteer time at your local animal shelter.
If there is no local animal shelter in an underprivileged area of great need, why not consider starting one?
Why not donate to a group helping the unfortunate animals?
