TIMOTHY TUGMUTTON - One dogs Story

In the past years I have lost count how many people asked me "how can you do all this without getting anything for it", "doesn't it break your heart to see these Pugs in distress" and "don't you just want to go and hurt the owners of these poor Pugs?" My answers have always been the same. Many of the Pugs surrendered to us are not neglected or abused, but loved dogs who's owners desperately want to see them placed in good homes. No, I don't want to harm anyone as I do not believe in harming any living creature. Yes, my heart feels like breaking when I get a badly neglected and abused Pug through the door, but I can't give in to the pain as I need all the strength in my body to help every Pug that needs a loving, helping hand. And finally, after being asked why I go on without getting anything for doing rescues all I can do is smile and shake my head as I remember the enormous joy I and my family get as reward for the work we do. I get showered with love so deep and true from a Pug that was once unable to walk out of fear of being kicked again, who now takes running leaps onto my lap, giving me kisses too many to count. There is no feeling like taking in a "Puppy Farm" Pug who fears every hand going towards it and later having to apologize to visitors for the pushy Pug who just won't take no for an answer when it sees an empty lap. What about the Pug that runs the opposite direction to the one he was called because he can now run and jump after 2 hip operations which where too expensive for this previous owner. But my biggest rewards are stories like the one of TIMOTHY TUGMUTTON. About 2
