housemaid. That was when she began to take 2 strays. “I started with the aged and sick dogs

the care and love I can give, even 6 only for a few days. Some looked so hungry like they had

not been fed for years, and others were in 7 bad shape that if left to themselves, they would

ill-treat or abandon them. Give them to your friends or bring them to me. They 10 a proper
home too.
