C&I readers share the stories and photos of the dogs that changed their lives.
When we published the editor's note in our October issue, we didn’t even realize that October was National Dog Adoption Month. By serendipity, editorial director Hunter Hauk had decided to write about the joys of adopting dogs because a new one had come into his life. In the editor's note, we asked readers to tell us about their furry best friend(s), and the stories quickly came flooding in. From a Great Dane in Oklahoma to Maltese sisters in Idaho, these tales of canine companions are too heartwarming not to share.
