Search the web with Dogpile, and earn money to rescue animals. While we all love Google, dog lovers should spread some of that love to Dogpile, a less known search engine. Why? Dogpile has a goal of contributing one million dollars to the ASPCA in 2009. To understand the power of this, and the commitment of Dogpile, I read a story tonight that I want to share...
After reading about the Dogpile program, two American soldiers serving in Afghanistan contacted Dogpile. They were distraught because they had adopted stray dogs in Afghanistan, and were upset about the prospect of abandoning these dogs when their tour of duty was over. Dogpile agreed to cover the expense to fly the soldiers dogs "Jack and Emma" back to the United States. One of the soldiers wives wrote to Dogpile,
"Jack has been such an important part of my husband's life these past few months. He has helped my husband, along with the men on his team, escape from the harsh reality they have been living in. The things these men have to see and deal with truly force them to build a wall around their emotions. I believe Jack has been so therapeutic to my husband, and helped him through some of the toughest times. Jack and Dan have formed a true companionship that I know will continue to grow over the years. I promise you Jack will have the most loving home and family a dog could ever ask for."
