Happy is Home

My friend Onayd Lumbao said in his e-mail to me, "Happy is Home". Indeed, Happy was welcomed home last Saturday, June 21st. Happy does not have a yard or a place to run around where he is at right now but he is in good hands with my dearest nephew, Nathaniel 'Toytoy' Montejo. The rescue of Happy from the life of neglect was the collaborative effort of several people near and far. From a caring person, Ronald Papina whom I do not know, who reported to Mona Consunji of Animal Welfare Coalition http://www.animalwelfare.com.ph/ and Mona alerting thru e-mail her network of friends, animal lover groups and individuals.



Michel van der Kleij of Netherlands http://animals.tukcedo.nl/ who cares deeply about the animals in the Philippines is a constant source of encouragement. My dear friend John Martel, who has the kindest heart, an animal lover who has helped with Happy's expenses; Onayd, http://www.dogscoutsphilippines.com/, who writes and published books, animal behaviorist and passionate about animals volunteered his time and expertise to save Happy. Dr. Alice Utlang, a Cebu Vet with her quirky, witty short remarks re-energizes me and always gives me advise.
Happy found a new best friend in Toytoy. Toytoy, a fresh college graduate in Electronics loves animals and was more than glad to rescue Happy from severe neglect. And me, i consider myself very lucky to know these individuals who i share passion and compassion for the neglected, abused and voiceless animals.
