Name: Kady

Gender: Female

Prompt: Kady is grateful for her two best friends! Sara, who is blind, and Sara’s twin brother Steel, who is the eyes for the both of them

Ever since they were very little, Steel has helped Sara get around. Never doubting her abilities to move through this world by herself, but always there to provide a guiding paw or gentle nudge when she asked for it.
When they were pups, they saw Kady at a dog park, and Sara instantly felt a sisterly connection to her. Kady had been abandoned, left because all her breeders saw was that she couldn't, which in their eyes made her not good enough. She was alone, being brave and trying to hide her terror after losing all she had ever known. When Sara nudged up against her, she flinched away for a second, but got ahold of herself and they introduced each other. Steel knew what to do, and herded their owner over to the pair, tugging gently at her pant legs. She immediately understood, and when she reached them gently picked the new little pup up. "Don't worry little one, you're safe with us."
And safe she was.

Gender: Female
Prompt: Celeste is just thankful to be alive. Being a disabled dog, her chances weren't great as a puppy. She was picked on by her littermates and was the runt of the litter, so making it this far is a good enough reason to give thanks as it is. Even if she can't witness all of the beauty that life and nature has to offer with her eyes, just being in it makes her thankful.

Gender: Male
Prompt: Malachi is grateful for his loving humans and his mother and father. He is thankful to even be alive, usually, the disabled pups would be left to die but his mother still loved him as much as she did his littermates. Malachi couldn't have wished for a better family who loves him no matter what.

Username: PrincessAlexis
Name: Wishbone
Gender: Male
Prompt: Wishbone was born blind in both eyes, and has always been difficult to train due to that fact. He used to bound carelessly into things but once fell down a flight of stairs and ever since he has been slow and methodical in his movements. He is grateful for his human family (his third home in his lifetime) because the old man has been training dogs for decades and knew just how to deal with him, using sounds but also touch in order to train Wishbone and get him used to living in a home rather than a kennel, where he started out his life. The elderly woman has taken to spending a lot of time in bed lately, and Wishbone has been with her all along, encouraging her to get up and go for walks with him and care for him. Although his people are old and don't always match his energy level, Wishbone is grateful for everything that they do for him and couldn't imagine a better place to spend his life.

gender: female
prompt: estelle is grateful for the bond she has with yama. upon first glance, many see yama as an imposing figure, best to be avoided. the authority his presence gives off doesn't help.

despite this, yama was the first to give estelle a lending hand (or paw, rather), teaching her the ins and out of the COR kennel. even though she can't see him, she doesn't care what he looks like. to her, he is a big, soft teddy bear.
