Angel Dane by Rachel Tyler
I am pleased to announce the winners of of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Dogs We Love are:
Linda Belthius for this response...
"My dog is Chicken Soup for the Soul because I have been blessed beyond my understanding with having her to help me through a loss of my dear sister-in-law. I was under so much stress I literally lost my hair, and without my Winnie to be there when I came home I think I would have sunk into a depression so deep it would have affected my whole life. Having to care for her and having her undivided love helped me to stay strong for myself and my family! She is an angel with fur!"
...and artist Rachel Tyler chosen at random.
I was so moved by everyone's responses. It was almost impossible to decide. But Linda's last line "She is an angel with fur!" really got to me. Inspired by her quote, I set up a new Dog Art Today photo album. I would love for you all to submit photos of your dogs so I can meet all your angels with fur.
Click here to submit your photo. Everyone's dogs are welcome. You don't have to have participated in the contest.
