Since I was a puppy, Lindsay told me how important it was to share with those who had less than I did. I didn't really understand what she was talking about, so one day she took me to a dog rescue. The puppies there all were happy, but they had many needs that were not being met. They didn't have forever homes. The food they ate, the beds they slept in, and toys they played with were all from donations. The volunteer who showed us around also said the donations paid for medical costs, too.
After visiting the rescue center I wanted to help too. I asked Lindsay how she shared with others. She told me that she knits squares for Warm Up America. She said that not all ways of helping others require donating money. Donating your time or talent to help others is also important.
I decided to share by taking a portion of the royalties from Lindsay's stories and donating it to the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League, Inc (MAGDRL). So each book you buy helps support a dog in need.
