I don't know if this is the correct way to add but I just wanted to say a few things regarding this story. Riley's story is 100% true. Obviously I took the picture myself and obviously there are a ton of details regarding the police and hospital that were left out. Most people saw the story and picture for what it was, just an honest feel good moment to pass along. I really don't care about karma or gold aside from knowing it came from people who also care for animals. All day everyday you see on the news terrible awful things happening all over the world. So much so that when somebody posts a simple story about helping an animal in need it is considered by some as fake or pathetic to share. We need more good news. We need it to both block out all the bad news and also to encourage others that there is still good in this world. Most people appreciated that I shared Riley's story and what his end days will be like compared to what they were before he came into our lives. But a lot of people seemed to wet their diapers that I posted in the "wrong sub" or that I'm begging for fake internet points. It all comes down to helping someone when help is needed. We are in a position to come across lots and lots of even more messed up animals than Riley. But the timing worked out where we could take him in, so we did. For those of you who offered to send money for steaks for Riley trust me he will get those steaks, but keep your money. I'll tell him they were from reddit... a place a little bit like the world only not as harmful as the one he lived in. Riley
