A woman’s love and loyalty to her companion.  She spent 3 hours comforting her horse and supporting it’s head after it got stuck in the mud on a beach in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.  The horse got stuck up to his neck in mud and things became scary as the tide was starting to come in.  The 500kg horse, named Astro, was freed with the help of a local farmer’s tractor and a harness at Avalon Beach and has fully recovered from the ordeal.

Such an amazing story!  What lengths would you go to to protect and save your companion?

If you don’t already know about it – you should definitely check this out.  The No Kill Advocacy Center hosts a conference each summer in Washington DC and if you are in anyway involved in animal welfare, you must attend this conference!  I have attended twice now, and look forward to attending this year as well.  Not only will you learn invaluable information from the speakers and get to network with other attendees, but you will also be surrounded by like-minded people who all understand that no kill is most definitely possible (which in some regions of the United States is hard to find).  The energy is almost indescribable at this conference, and you will leave with the information you need to get your community to that over 90% live outcome rate and the positive energy to do it.  Interested?  You can learn more and register here!
