Some call it a habit,I preffer calling it soft heart and inability to watch animal suffering. I've been cussed and threatened at gunpoint by people who saw me inside pens feeding animals I felt were starving but I can't help myself. I once drove past a large dog that appeared to be chocking from something in it's throat. I pulled over, ran back and started applying The Heimlich maneuver. Being rather large and possibly frightened ,the dog dragged me into the road but I was totally focused on administering first-aid and failed to notice stopped traffic and onlookers until a cop grabbed my shoulder. An onlooker's cell video and cop's body cam footage were released to local tv station during the trial. My ex has full custody of our kids and her dad removed me as partner in his company. I'm still volunteer at the local shelter on days off from my part time job conditioned I never enter kennels nor in office alone.
