Put exams and papers aside for a moment and meet some critters who have risen to the top from very rough beginnings and are sure to make you smile.
Some of you may recall in 2012 the story of puppies nailed to railroad tracks in Albany near Hudson and Pearl Streets. Hudson survived, healed and carried on to become one big happy therapy dog, visiting schools, nursing homes, libraries and more! Hudson (shown below) and his human Rich Nash are regulars at Animal Advocacy Day at The Capitol and great friends with Steve Caporizzo and Senator Jim Tedisco.
Stella came to her handler, Cydney Cross, from one of the largest animal cruelty raids in U.S. history in Montgomery, Alabama. Her spirit unbroken, Stella now brings joy and laughter to folks at hospitals, schools, churches and libraries.
