Welcoming a dog into your home is forever life changing and enriching, no matter the pup's origin. Still, there is something so incredibly beautiful about the rescue and adoption process; an animal in need is helped in an inevitably reciprocal way.

A recent NYT article, penned by a dog rescuer, conveys the heart and meaning behind this gift (to people and pup).
