I rescued Molly October 19, 2000.  Her human parents, an older couple, died within 6 months of each other leaving Molly an orphan. Molly was thirteen and her vet, since she was born, agreed to keep her until they found her a new home. When I took her home, she had a few disabilities.  She was deaf in one ear and about 35% deaf in her other ear. She had cataracts in both eyes. One eye she could not see through and the other it was probably somewhat blurred. She also came to me with a cancerous tumor on her chest. Yet she had more energy than dogs half her age and more sprit than I lot of people that I know. She was soon dubbed the energizer bunny.

I belong to a group called Caring Critters, the volunteers take their therapy animals to visit many of Houston's hospitals, assisted living and nursing homes. The first time I took her to the school TH Rogers (vanguard and disabled students K to 8th grade ) some of the members of my group remarked that she acted like she has done this all her life. I think they were right I am  sure before I was blessed with her, she made lots of people feel good. We visited TH Roger for two full school years and she touched a lot of students who still remember her.
