Rocky's Forever Home

By Sister Alice Marie D'Onofrio

As a Sister, I have rescued different dogs and kept them until their journey to the Rainbow Bridge. At present, the dog at the heart of this book is a flat haired fox terrier. He was adopted from a Terrier rescue couple at age 8. Rocky's situation was similar to that of a foster child. He was passed around multiple times, placed in situations beyond his control and he struggled to make adjustments. Now, he is a 10 year old loving, intelligent terrier keeping the sisters, elderly people, and youngsters all enchanted with his unconditional love, protection and antics. The book is a profound mixture of compassion, concern and love for God, children and canines. The need for security in a world of furry creatures and little people is apparent and sadly missing in our lives. Neither children, nor dogs understand "the why" of lack of concern and feeling unwanted. Feelings such as: anxiety, exclusion, unlovability, loneliness and inferiority are threats in their lives. So this book came to be in order to create awareness of the need for love, care and concern in the lives of children and dogs. The innocence and unconditional love of a dog is a reflection of an anonymous quote which says, "God didn't want man to live alone so He created the dog". Rocky and all animals are a daily presence of the Lord's desire for us not to feel abandoned.
