Craig's List

How does this photo represent the theme – Life is Better Together?
We found Ralphie on Craig's List. The story was that his owner was gone all the time and he was always alone in his crate. When we picked him up, he was a mess-he had fleas, badly needed grooming, was underweight, and then there were the health issues. He had a horrible ear infection, his skin was so dry he had hot spots, and some nasty cysts. But even in the midst of all that he hopped in the truck and never looked back. He actually smiled on the way home! All he wanted was love and we had so much to give. If you ask either myself or my husband what life with Ralphie could be described as it would be two words "pure joy." Whatever we were doing he happily trailed along. But his favorite place in the world was the garage. My husband spent hours out there working on our race car and Ralphie was fascinated by that car and being in the garage with him. He was "one of the guys." He was also a very good boy. We had a fenced in yard and the garage's side door was inside that area. The garage overhead door wasn't. One day my husband had to open the overhead door and carry something in. After telling Ralphie to stay put he went to get what he needed. This is what he found when he went back!
