As an animal lover, I have seen my fair share of neglected and abused animals, but Snow's situation was one of the worst I had ever come across. Despite his tail swaggling with enthusiasm, he was terribly emaciated, and his ears were bleeding. It was evident that he had been given just enough to survive, and it hurt my heart to see him in such a sad state.

I knew I couldn't just leave him behind. I made a vow to Snow right then and there that no matter what it took, I would do all in my power to help him. The owner first refused to let me adopt Snow, and I was upset. I didn't sure what to say or do since if the owner said no, I wouldn't be able to take Snow with me. I was overtaken with emotion, and tears flowed down my cheeks.
