To know that your action saved a life and fostered happiness and companionship is to know a deep satisfaction in your soul. When I share the grief of those who've lost their Scotties and then share the joys of placing a rescue Scottie in those homes, I know why I was spared in that terrible auto crash years ago that took the life of my sister. I have a purpose, a mission, a work to do. I've found that purpose in Scottie Rescue . It is true that life can be brutal.
Life can also bring very great rewards.
It's because we know how brutal life can be that we reach out in compassion to innocent animals brutalized by circumstance. And in the rescuing, it's the rescuers that are most profoundly blessed. Ultimately, Scottie Rescue is merely an organized way for those who've been touched by Scottie-love to honor the debt we owe to this special breed. These are mere rationalizations. Ultimately it's not the head but the heart which motivates Scottie Rescue.
