For my birthday, also St. Francis of Assisi Day,

here is "Rescue" the song I sang to Erika Amato's Buddy the dog. Imagine if we loved humans as much as we love our animals or as much as our animals love us. I still miss Steinbeck, Thurber and Howard, our three rescue cats.

It's amazing experience to rescue a life.



I happened upon something that touched me really deeply. Lynn McC, a UK fan of The Last Session, taped herself singing along with the track, in a salute to a group called "Futures For Dogs".

It reminded me there are so many groups I never heard of.

I'd love to hear your story about that moment when your animal claimed you at a rescue shelter. Isn't that how it happens? They pick you?

Extra Points: Post a link to your closest animal rescue group. And if you don't know of one, google one and link it.

Here's the one for futuresfordogs.co.uk/animals-for-adoption/

If Lynn hadn't posted that video, I may never have heard of them. So, I'm passing it on!

Here in NY: Zani's Furry Friends

In LA: The Pepper Foundation.

Extra Performer Points: Record yourself singing this song with your pet.

Sing to me, my angels!
