Lola

Lola was a stray my mom found her Christmas Eve on her way home from the dentist. My family usually celebrate the day before Christmas she was an absolute mess when she was found on the street cold and wet from the snow the man who worked at the bodega said he’s been feeding her but she hasn’t been eating much and someone just dumped her my mom at the time hadn’t had much money to get me a gift for Christmas and I had been asking for a dog so Lola came home with her I loved her even if she was a mutt and a stray I just wanted a dog of my own a friend. We never knew Lola’s age but we knew she had to be at least 1 when we found her and she lived on to graciously gift us 16 years with her where she watched me grow into a woman and become a friend to my 4 year old. She passed surrounded by family and left behind her spouse dog Buda who we also rescued whom they shared 2 liters of 5 children (a Total of 10 kids!) Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.
