Bill Foundation Important Luke Update Its not every day that you drive 5 hours to meet a hero. Its not every day that hero lives up to your expectations. And it certainly isnt every day that the hero is a dog with special needs. Today our little Luke was at our adoption event. To my surprise a lot of people in the village stopped by, coming from as far as Arizona and Northern California, just for a kiss from our little rascal. Our intrepid villagers were rewarded generously with kisses and attention. So many people were there one of our volunteers said, It was like being security for a rockstar. It was a great day that reminded me how far we have come, how much our villagers have to give, and the rewards of good vibes and love that your gifts create. Luke is a dog seemingly full of surprises, and today was such a surprise for all of us from Bill Foundation I wanted to share with all our villagers out there who couldnt make it, some warm fuzzies. This photo is of three villagers who trecked hours to check in on Luke. Yup, Our village even has dedicated children who are madly in love with our special guy and he gave them tons of kisses to reward them for their love of him and his special needs. And just when we thought our special Luke couldnt get any more special... Well... We have discovered he is deaf. How did we miss this? Luke is just that smart that he has adapted perfectly and takes his cues from other stimuli. We arent sure of the extent of his deafness, but we will find out more in the coming week or so when he has his next checkup on his liver shunt. I didnt think it was possible, but my love and admiration for our special little guy grew a bit with this news... As did my heart. It will make finding him the perfect home a bit more difficult, but that perfect home will be all the more amazing because it will be just the right fit for our 4.3 lb hero. xo Annie Hart
