PLANTING A FOREST OF LOVE!
It is everyone's responsibility to make a difference.
Everyone is born with their compassion switch in the "ON" position.
As we begin to experience life, most of us learn quickly that it hurts to open up...
It hurts to feel.

BEN LEWIS RECEIVED
S.P.A.'s CERTIFICATE OF COMPASSION!
Ben is a compassionate young man
Jo Jo's front legs were run over by a truck.
Ben Lewis collected money for Jo Jo
and made him a BEAUTIFUL Get Well Card!
Ben is shown above with his buddy, Jo Jo
after surgery had been performed by OSU.
Ben had seen Jo Jo's story in the newspaper
and told his mother he wanted to help Jo Jo, somehow.
He wanted to make a difference.

Consequently, many turn their compassion switch to the "OFF" position.
It is less painful to "not" feel.
It is less painful to simply look the other way.
It seems that our society is becoming less and less compassionate.
S.P.A. believes that we, as rescuers, are much like Johnny Appleseed,
carrying a satchel on our backs filled with tiny seeds of compassion.

Leonardo was born without eyes
and he had a serious heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot.
S.P.A. took him to Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine
in an effort to extend his life, which is where he died at one year old.
While he lived, he was loved.
He touched our lives in a way we shall never forget.

It takes trees many years to grow, but eventually,
they produce fruit and more seeds germinate
and soon one tree begets two trees begets eight trees...
A single tree can create a forest... in time.
This is a very important time, right now.
Plant as many seeds of compassion as possible.
It may take awhile,
but each seed that is planted
throughout the course of each day,
will eventually mature and touch hundreds,
if not thousands of living beings,
in ways we can only begin to imagine.
LET'S TURN OUR COMPASSION SWITCHES
"ON" FULL THROTTLE!
LET'S PLANT A FOREST OF LOVE!
