FRANKY THE WEINER DOG

"Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others."
Danny Thomas

Ok, so I must say that I have an absolutely amazing 3rd block class this year. They are so sweet and caring and their newest venture is so cute and heart-warming. They have decided as a class that they want to save Franky. Franky is a cute little Dachshund whose back two legs are paralyzed. He came to visit our class today and we all just fell in love with him. Franky needs a doggy wheelchair to get around. His owners cannot afford one on their own and need some help. If Franky does not get this wheelchair, he is due to be put down sometime soon. I am so impressed that high school kids would take the initiative to help another family and precious little dog out. This was 100% their idea!

If any of you would like to contribute to help save Franky or if you have a place we could set a jar, let me know! I know that I couldn't imagine having to put my little Vinny down. I would love to see them raise this money, not only for Franky, but as encouragement for my students to continue to pursue helping others.
