NICE Testimonial: Doggy Love

Phew, we had some wicked thunderstorms in the Philadelphia area this morning! It was probably the scariest drive to work I've ever had. Lightning was striking to my left and right throughout the entire drive. Nature sure is a powerful beast!

Today's testimonial comes from Jessica of Portland, OR. She writes about an amazing friend of hers.

My friend Jill is generous without exception. She has a heart for animals and people that astounds me.

A dog 'fell' (or was possibly pushed) from an apartment window in her neighborhood. She witnessed the injured dog and went over to help. The couple who owned the dog came outside but the story as to how the dog fell out the window was sketchy. Regardless, the dog was injured and needed emergency care. No questions asked, Jill offered to take the pooch to her vet. When the couple didn't have any money to pay the vet, Jill donated her tax refund to get him all patched up. I don't know about you, but I never would have gotten involved. She's just about the darned nicest person I know.


What a kind and generous soul! If she wasn't there to lend a hand and offer up the financial assistance, who knows what might have happened to that animal. Way to go, Jill!

That's a great testimonial. There aren't a lot of people who would give up their tax refund to pay the vet bills for someone else's dog. She earned lots of Karma chips when she did that!
