The Best Second Chance

The crew from Orange County was on the tarmac getting ready to ship out to help the victims of the Haitian earthquake. Supplies we're being gathered for the mission: first aid items, clothes, food, a dog carrier...dog carrier?



The carrier belongs to Spuds, a lab on a mission. When I saw Spuds he was sitting calmly, ready to get on the plane. His vest was his uniform and it told everyone he is a trained rescue dog. Putting on that vest tells Spud its time to get to work. Today he had to wait while his human told his heartwarming story to the reporter.



Spuds started his life in a shelter, wondering if he would ever find a family to love, preferably one with a house and a big backyard. He didn't know life would have a more noble plan for him. Someone at the shelter recognized his potential to become a rescue dog. Spuds was sent to be trained and now he is off to Haiti!



Sometimes all it takes is someone to recognize potential we don't know we have, be it human potential or animal. Spuds was given a chance to use his to serve and help humans. He is a lucky dog.
