There are special angels among us who, sadly, don't seem to be with us long enough. Mary's particular skill and compassion with troubled dogs cannot be replaced, and she will be sadly missed. My condolences to her husband and family, who must deal with her loss.

In truth it was the dogs she saved that won the Lottery.....and they will be there to guide her over the Bridge.

The last time I remember Mary helping on this board was with a dog from VA that was a bite case, I believe. And she agreed to take the dog, of course. It turned out that the dog went elsewhere, disappeared sort of.

I think that God probably decided to call Mary because the dogs waiting at the Bridge got unruly just hanging around and waiting. Given Mary's talents with doggie management he thought that she would be the right person to guide the Bridge-kids and take charge until their people show up.

Mary sounds like she was a remarkable women. What an amazing story and exemplary life she led; only far too short (it didn't sound like she was very old either).

There must be a big celebration at the bridge to welcome her home with 66 million doggie kisses and hugs.

Chris, I remember exactly which dog this was. I had his picture saved in my computer for a long time. His name is on the tip of my tongue, but just can't quite remember as it's been several years.
He came from West Union, OH. Mary agreed to take him and another sheppie from that pound; several people sent me money via paypay and I went to Walmart, bought Varikennels, and took them to the pound so that they could be flown to Mary.

My thoughts are with her family. Truly a huge loss to the rescue world.

How very sad. I remember Mary and the wonderful work she did. A last chance for the dogs who had run out of chances. A huge loss to the rescue world.

My deepest condolences to her friends and family.
