A letter to Santa by a rescue dog – Hero

Dear Santa, 

I don’t know if you remember me from the past years, but i was writing you letters. During the past years I’ve had only one wish – to have food and a warm place to sleep, to not be beaten, and to have someone to love me. This last year was very hard for me, my past owners left me on a mountain and I was running, and running without knowing where I was, and then I arrived in the big city and I’ve never seen a car before because I was always locked up. And I got injured in the worst way, as I was hit by a car and I’ve lost the ability to walk. I have been sitting in a hole for days, with no food, no water, practically I was dying.. Then one nice lady came and took me. She was very nice, and she told me that everything will be okey. She took me to the vet station, they were very nice with me and gave me food and a comfortable bed to sleep on.. After a couple of days I was feeling better, and they took me to another vet so they could take some x-rays, it was fun to see your bones on a picture! But then they told me that I could not walk ever again, and I got really scared, but that lady told me don’t worry we will buy you wheelchair.. Ohh i thought I will write a letter to you Santa this year for a wheelchair, as the lady didn’t have the money to buy me one.. 

As the days were passing by I was still at the vet station and I’ve started to feel much better, and the vets were working with me, I’ve received a lot of massages on my legs, and had done a lot of workout. Somehow I’ve started to feel my legs again and I was working very hard! I was trying to run with the other dogs and to play with them. They are my best friends and they helped me a lot! So, after 3 months there I’ve started to walk again.. I’ve started to run! I was so happy, my dream came true! Then I was moved to the shelter and I’ve got visitors, I’ve got a place to sleep, I’ve got food twice a day! I was so happy my belly was full and I was free to play with my friends all day long.. but somehow I was missing love, and someone to pet me.. Lot of my friends were going out from the shelter and they said that they are going home and I was staying there.. I got sad so then I thought I would write you Santa a letter that I want a home. 

But then after months that lady came to me again, and told me that I would go in foster care and I was sooo happy, wagging my tail, running in circles, oooh boy I could not believe it! And then I was traveling for days, I was really  scared but again those words “everything will be okey” were ringing in my head. I arrived in foster with two of my friends and that lady was so nice! I love her! Than after two days one lady come to pick me up and she told me that I was going home! OH MY GOD! I HAVE A HOME! Now I have one cat brother, one dog brother, and a human sister! I have a mom and a dad. I have 2 beds, but I prefer to sleep with my humans. I have long walks by the beach, and guess what Santa? I have a Christmas tree and gifts under the tree! Oooh I’m so happy. 

So Santa this Christmas I have it all and I have only one wish, my other friends that are still in the shelter to have a home! Please Santa make my wish come true and help the Pawsome dogs and all of the dogs that are all around the world.

I was really good boy this year, I hope that my wish would come true. 

Sincerely yours,

Murphy (ex Hero I have a new name too!!!)
