THE WAY THIS MAN WAS REUNITED WITH HIS IMPOUNDED DOG BECAUSE OF A TOUCHING PHOTO WILL TUG AT YOUR HEART

A California man with only $6 in his pocket lost his dog last week when he was arrested for marijuana (he later showed he had a prescription). Heartbroken, he visited the animal shelter everyday where the dog was impounded — and one woman who spotted him crying at the cage changed everything for him.

Dave Thomas from San Bernardino told the San Bernardino Sun “it made [him] crazy” that he couldn’t afford the $400 it would cost to release the pit bull mix named Buzz Lightyear.

When Maria Sanchez, a woman the Sun reported visits the shelter daily to take photos for awareness efforts, posted a picture of Thomas and Buzz holding hands (er, hand and paw) at the cage, it went viral. Not only did Thomas receive enough money to free Buzz — $2,000 was raised as of Tuesday — but the Sun noted it also resulted in a job offer and a marriage proposal.

What a good story. It's nice to see some happy things happening these days. My thought would be that the police dept. pick up the cost.

As it's in LaLa Land, I'm guessin' the marriage proposal came from someone hoping to share his obviously idyllic life and Rx tablet.

Don't judge till you've walked a mile in someone elses shoes please.
I have suffered from pain & If marijuana was the only relief I could get----I would take it.

To those who know the love for an animal---you can imagine what this guy was feeling. Thank God for the kind lady who posted this & thank God for the Good that transpired!
