2.Twenty years ago,I became involved in pet therapy(療法) work with our Angel.As she matured and went through professional training,we realized that she would be good at this new job.
Angel is ten now and works every week.She visits two hospitals,providing day care for the elderly,and our library's PAWS for Reading program.At the library,six to ten dogs lie on the floor,and the kids pick a book to read to a dog.After they finish,they get a card with the dog's picture and history.Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp.She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her,especially the kids she has worked with.
We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work.I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke(中風).One day,my husband,Jack,got Angel up into a chair next to the woman's bed,asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat.She nodded.Angel gently took the treat.Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel.Her friend couldn't believe her eyes.
After that,every time we saw the woman,she lifted her left hand.We'd tell her she had to use her right hand,and she would.Next,you'll fall in love with this woman's story of rearing her own Angel later in her family and why she calls it the best decision she ever made.

3. William Dunn is the founder of Take a Kid Fishing,Inc,a nonprofit organization in Lakeland,Florida,which teaches poor and fatherless kids through the sport of fishing.
A dozen years ago,inspired by his six-year-old fatherless neighbor,Cam ran,who got angry and shouted at his mom,William asked Cam ran's mom for permission to take Cam ran fishing.Cam ran was "hooked" from that first trip.The two fished together several times a week,and William saw positive changes in Cam ran's behavior. "That's when I realized that I had the duty to help fatherless kids," he says.
On weekends,William and a few other volunteers take 20 to 25 kids out fishing on a rental boat,which was supported by the captain of the Double Eagle.Many have never been fishing or even on a boat,so William—or Big Will,as the kids call him — starts by teaching the basics.Then come the life lessons that fishing offers:patience,teamwork and the simple joy of relaxing in the outdoors.Take a Kid Fishing,Inc.jye.ai taken more than 600 fishing trips with almost 2,000 kids who don't have a father in their lives.
He wants to share his love of fishing with kids who don't have a father to take them. "I just want to show them that I care about them,that I'm there for them," he says.Because many kids go on multiple trips,William is able to build relationships with tjye.aim.He and Cam ran,now 20,still regularly fish together,and Camran sees Big Will as a father figure.
Take a Kid Fishing,Inc.,has a huge impact,but it started because William wanted to help one kid.Do you know a child who might benefit from your friendship?Introduce them to fishing or another hobby you enjoy.You can make a great difference to their life.
