A special bond between the island’s dogs and Galvestonians undeniably exists.  Locals watch for dogs in need and spring into action to see that they are cared for.  I see it every day at the shelter.  The Galveston Humane Society on Broadway is frequently visited by local families searching for a new family member, or just to allow the kids to pet and play with a rescue dog.  The favored breeds here are pitties and chihuahuas, polar opposite breeds, but appealing to many Islanders.  One is really cool-looking jogging beside you on the seawall, and the other can fit in your purse to go wherever you go.  I love them all.  It is soul-refreshing to spend some time with those in need of a little human attention.  I get back so much more than I give.  You’ll find this is always true when you volunteer your services.
