How does this photo represent the theme – Life is Better Together?
When Cody (the black on on the left) was first adopted in March of 2013, he suffered from separation anxiety and was very shy and weary of people and other animals and lacked confidence. He was found wandering the streets, but it was evident he was abused. With the help of his friend Mia (on the right) he has become a friendly and confident dog. He still suffers from separation anxiety but it is now at a controlled level and he is gaining confidence everyday. Being guided by Mia, Cody has learned how to be on his own and interact with others. He is now a friendly, confident dog thanks to Mia's help. They are best buddies and go everywhere together. The power of together has helped heal Cody of whatever mental wounds he suffered while homeless.
