Sometimes Animals do Soothe the Soul

Received 3 Nominations for the

Rio Vista Award for Outstanding Animal Rescues

A lot of hope went into that breeding cross. Morendo did race, but only 14 times. Those 14 races won him over 30,000. So when he raced, he raced with all his heart.  Read the whole story
