Josette thomas kids learn to be kind

My daughter saw two dogs running in our neighborhood(she's ten). They came to her and she called the number on the tags. The family came and picked up the dogs and were very thankful. We thought this was the end of it. Then the next morning the owners of the dogs were at the door with a thank you card and a gift card for dairy queen. She was so excited. Thank you for showing her that it is good to be helpful. Continue
