I've just read the entire thread from page one to here, and all I can say is: I applaud you. I am currently a freshman in High School, and what you've done for Dave is something I wouldn't be able to accomplish on my own even if I was a Senior, or even out of school. I am so proud of what you're willing to do, the lengths you're ready to go for an animal that was so far gone. It's amazing to see how far Dave has come since you first rescued him. I am extremely grateful for people like you in this world, and the story of you and Dave has given me hope for my own future of caring for and rescuing animals. Thank you.
