An act of kindness

From Nick Tuza, Wolverine Lake:

These days, most letters (to the editor) seem to be doom and gloom or complaints, but I wanted to write this letter to thank a mystery woman whose act of kindness and compassion really meant a lot to me and my wife at a very sad time.

We arrived at the Wixom Veterinary Clinic at the crossroads of Pontiac Trail and Wixom Road with our dog who was fighting for life. They rushed him in for life-saving surgery. As we were outside trying to compose ourselves, this lady approached us and told us that her dog would like to give up one of his toys so when our dog is recovering he will have something to play with. Unfortunately, our dog did not survive the surgery, but this act of kindness and compassion showed us that there are still good people whose kind deeds often go unnoticed. I would also like to thank all the staff at the veterinary clinic for their excellent service and kindness.
