We live in College Station, Texas and we were on our way home from Houston, Texa

We live in College Station, Texas and we were on ourway home from Houston, Texas around the Weston Lakes area one Saturday orSunday morning. And when I say morning, I'm talking 1:00 to 2:00 in themorning. We were on our way home and decided to stop at a local gas station toget coffee and something to snack on since it was a good hour and a half beforewe got home.

When we were done, we got back into our car and beforeI started it, we noticed a man standing outside in front of the building. Youcould tell that he was a homeless man. His clothes were worn and it looked likehe had gone in and gotten him some coffee or something warm to drink since itwas cold this time of the year. He couldn’t have had enough money to getsomething to eat. That is not something I remember too well, because that isnot what "moved" me.

The next thing I remember is a dog that walked up tothe front of the building. Being a dog lover, I noticed that she was part wolfand probably part German shepherd. I could tell she was a she, because youcould tell that she had been feeding puppies. She was terribly in need ofsomething to eat and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn't eat soon, sheand her puppies would not make it.

I and my wife sat there and looked at her. We noticedthat people walked by and didn't even pet her, like most people do when theywalk by an animal in front of a store. She might not have been as pretty andclean as most, but she still deserved better. But we still did not do anything.But someone did. The homeless man, who I thought did not buy himself anythingto eat, went back into the store. And what he did brought tears to me and mywife. He had gone into the store and with what money he may have had, bought acan of dog food and fed that dog.

I know that this story isn't as inspirational as moststories, but it plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother's Dayweekend. And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.
