Dog is a Man's Best Friend.

Sadie and I
“A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.”- Marley & Me. 

I have always been an animal lover. My first dog was Sadie and my family adopted her from the animal shelter. I have always been an advocate for adopting pets from shelters and giving them a home. 

In a recent article on Mashable, Best Friends Animal Society is actually running a social media campaign to raise awareness about animals who are forgotten. They raise awareness by tweeting and using the hashtag #InvisibleDog, getting people to pledge online and letting pet owners create their own events on Facebook. 

I think this is a great way to spread awareness about the Invisible Dog globally. A social media campaign can reach out to thousands of people and the Best Friend's campaign has already gained over a 1,000 supporters. I think social media is making a difference.

  1. I too am an animal lover. I have two cats living with me at the moment. My true wish though is to have a husky or german shepard dog. I would be the happiest girl alive :) The invisible dog campaign sounds like a great idea to provide dogs good homes.
