Darlene, Thank you so much for sharing this uplifting story with all of us!! Patti Conroy's fierce committment to saving this Golden Retriever mom and her litter is one of the most heartwarming stories involving rescue that I've heard in quite awhile. It is a 'must read' for all dog lovers, but be sure to heed the warning that you will need a box of tissues handy, because you will! Patti Conroy exemplifies in my mind what being a good breeder and giving back to one's breed is really about. My thanks to Darlene Petralia for sharing this as the Patti Conroys of the world never seem to "toot their own horns" they way some less evloved, but nonetheless well known, breeders do over what are relatively minor accomplishments by comparison. To Patti Conroy mere words are seem inadequate to describe what an incredibly wonderful and inspiring human being you are ---- and a true credit to the dog word!!!
