Sherry Lankston lives in Seattle Washington and was “doom-scrolling” late
one night when she found a picture of Harvey, a husky who had been at
the San Diego Department of Animal Services for the past six months.
Bright and early the next morning when Sherry called and found out why
no one had even asked to him out of his cage for six months she couldn’t
believe it. After a short conversation with her husband who couldn’t come
she loaded up her boys and first dog, River, for a 3 day road trip over
1,200 miles to meet Harvey face to face. Sherry also shares how Harvey
has been beating the odds since he was a puppy, how the family is doing
today and how she hopes Harvey’s story can inspire others. This story is a
great example of what can happen sometimes when we listen to our
hearts about a dog.
