The Friends of Rachel is a challenge in honor of Rachel Joy Scott who was one of the 13 victims killed at Columbine High School shooting in 1999. Her family started (to) the challenge for people to become more aware & compassionate to others and put an end to bullying. They believed if one person could make a difference, it would start a chain reaction. We share the same belief.
"You would think that a dog is just a dog. That may be true for some, but not me.I used to sit at home, alone, and just let life pass me by, but now I have a reason to get up. Even if it’s feeding Samson, or taking him for walks, he has motivated me to live again."
"He’s more than just a friend. He’s my battle buddy. He’s my left hand. We’re connected by a leash, but it’s really our umbilical cord. He’s sometimes more tuned into me than I’m tuned into me. He knows more about me than I do sometimes. He lets me know what’s going on."
