Hi, I'm Dice, and I love to play!

 

Running is my favorite thing.

 

You might not have seen it in my pictures,
but I'm tied to a fence on a chain.

You see,
there's only a fence on one side of my yard.

 

I beg the kids in my family to play with me,
but the ground is muddy, and they don't like it.

Plus, they can get hurt if they get tangled up in my chain.

 

So I have to run by myself, in a little semi-circle, tied up on this chain.

It's boring... and lonely...

 

... and frustrating!

 

 

 

Huh? Did somebody say my name?

A real fence? I'm getting a real, honest-to-goodness fence? So I can run around for real?

Gosh,
who would do such a thing for little ol' me?

Of course!

It's the Coalition to Unchain Dogs!

 

It was awfully cold, but this wonderful group of volunteers from all over the Triangle
came to help out!

 

They worked really hard
to make my yard clean and safe.

 

And when they were finished,
I had a brand new fence.

 

And I was finally FREE!

 

Free to run!

 

And the best part is that
my family can now run and play with me!

 

I love playing with them,
and they love playing with me!

 

 

Thank you so much, Coalition volunteers!

You deserve lots of wet, doggie kisses!

 

I'm a happy dog now, but there are so many others who don't know what it's like to run and play.

Now that you've read my story and you see the wonderful work that the Coalition vounteers do, won't you paw-lease consider helping them out with your time or a donation?

Love,
Dice
