Meet Henry. Henry, a sweet pit bull mix, is a member of Team Canine Congo Run and one of my favorite companions on the Journey. Henry has boundless energy and is good company on those long hikes --- as long as we are well equipped with water and snacks (just like my sister, Debbie). Henry is a friendly guy and loves meeting people and other dogs on the trail. Of all the dogs I walk, Henry is the very best listener. He once saw a cat on the trail and took off after it. I yelled for him to stop and he stopped instantly from a full run. Of course, he was disappointed but he walked right back over to me. He is a delight! So let's give some of those pit bulls a chance.
As I look over at Henry sleeping soundly on my bed after a day of hiking with Carol, I remember that this dog has come so far. He was born in a shelter and could have become just another statistic. With the help of a few people, Henry got a second chance and, in turn, enriched my family's lives beyond measure. We are supporting Carol's drive to raise funds so we can prevent the women of the Congo from becoming another statistic, giving them a second chance to do something great in their life. We are proud to help you, Carol.
