This story in New Zealand begins with rescuers finding this poor little guy they named Ralphie. Someone had already taken him under their wing but they weren't equipped to adopt.

 

 

 

Ralphie, scared and starved, joined his rescuers...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You wouldn't think anything could live through this... but you'd be wrong wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This other little lady also survived that wreckage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here she is just placed in the car - scared, but safe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then...they are no longer alone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instant friends, they comforted each other while in the car.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add two more beagles found after that...
the more, the merrier!

 

 

 

 

 

 

But oh boy, yet another new traveller to add to the mix!
Note one fearless cat needing shelter about to jump in to join them.
Now just how is this going to work? (And remember, they are all strange to one another.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's going to work out just fine, thank you very much!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow! The things we learn from our animal friends...
If only all of mankind could learn such valuable lessons as this.
Lessons of instant friendship.
Of peace and harmony by way of respect for one another - no matter one's colour or creed.
These animals tell you: "It's just good to be alive and with others."

Yes, it surely is.
So... Live, love, laugh.
"Life's a Gift... Unwrap It!"
