This is a story about Survival, Determination, and Compassion. Survival is an interesting concept. We hear it all the time, but what, really, does it mean? Do you survive because of good timing? Do you survive because of good luck and circumstances? Do you survive due to the compassion of others that come to your rescue? Determination. Another interesting word. Is it in our nature? Do we learn how to be determined? Where does it come from? Compassion.Some living creatures just have it. Nurturing animals. Humans that simply care enough to do the right thing. This is a story about ALL of that . . . And more.
