You know the feeling when you love something with all your heart? Think back to the moment you met your dog for the first time and the love you immediately felt for your little bundle of fluff.

I also experienced that feeling when I first met my new puppy, Molly, in 2012.

Having big paws to fill after Sparkles [the Fire Safety Dog] crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, Molly was an immediate charmer with everyone she met and oh how she loved people: especially children.

When Molly and I boarded the airplane for the plane ride to her new home in Arkansas, the flight attendants were drawn to her. After the flight, they couldn’t wait to hold her and give her kisses. They were saddened that their visit with her was so short, but passengers were waiting to load the plane. Smothering Molly with goodbye kisses, they sent us on our way into the world and to Molly’s new adventure as a Fire Safety Dog.
