Justice's Tail of Courage

This blog by Cynthia Exner really broke me up. It's about a dog taken in by local rescue group Tails of Courage. The dog, "Justice," lived the first several years of life at the end of a short chain, eating and sleeping in the dirt. 
Tails of Courage has an adoption event scheduled for Sat. Oct. 26th at Petsmart in Norwalk from 1:00p.m. to 3:00p.m. Tails of Courage is located at 1 Pembroke Rd in Danbury. Adoption Hours at 9:00a.am. to 5:30p.m. seven days a week.
