I originally intended to publish a long, intricately written post here regarding the case of Mr. Michael Vick, his potential return to the NFL, and my thoughts about what it was he was convicted of doing and how I think such extremes of cruelty to animals violates the injunction placed upon Christians to care for the world around them. However then I realized that this would by disingenuous. I don’t care about football. I don’t care who plays it and who doesn’t. I would only be using the whole sordid event to prove what a clever writer I am while railing about how evil and senseless cruelty to animals is.
Therefore in an effort to “be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21), I am publishing a message very recently sent to me by a friend. This message told me of, appropriately enough, a dog:
URGENT! beautiful mastiff mix ~ scheduled to be euthanized due to overcrowding, Seattle, WA
URGENT, scheduled to be euthanized due to overcrowding. Please help us find a great home for this stunning beauty. She is just a young one even though her photo shows her larger and is not a great photo. Melinda is a beautiful mastiff mix, grey/blue/silver with salt & pepper. So beautiful. A sweet girl, young and still considered a puppy at six months, she is a lovely mastiff mix weighing around 40 lbs. She will grow into a regal princess. For those of you who love this breed, help find this angel a home. She is spayed, updated on her shots and will come with a micro chip. Transportation can be arranged. Adopt fee.

I hope my readers will pass the story along and that it ultimately reaches someone with the a sufficiently large heart and home to come to this dog’s rescue.
