   My results didn't really suprise me. I always knew that I loved reading fiction. Many of the fictional books that I like have a lot of drama in them, and I love to laugh! So again, my results really weren't that surprising.

Rosie's Miracle Story:
  
   The last thing I read recently that I enjoyed, was an article about a little horse named Rosie. Rosie was one of the many cases that the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), receive each day. Every year, more than 1,000 animal cruelty cases are admitted to the ASPCA hoping to have a second chance. Rosie was one of those many cases. Rosie's story starts out at an old run-down farm. When the ASPCA found her, she was without food, water, or shelter. She was barely able to keep her head up. When they were in the middle of loading her onto the trailer (after the owner gave custody to the ASPCA) she unexpectedly, collapsed. "We honestly didn't think she was goning make it", says an ASPCA vet technician. Miraculously, Rosie made an amazing recovery. After months of intensive care, she now has a clean bill of health and is in the wonderful care of her new owner Lisa. " She's an amazing animal", says Lisa. She loves to play with my other two horses and doesn't throw a fit when I put a saddle on her. I honestly don't know how I would cope without out her". 




   This story touched my heart. I even got a little teary eyed when I read it : ) . I felt like I learned something from this story. To not only help the people in the world that are in need. But the animals as well. I don't think I will ever forget this story and I hope it touched your heart, as it did mine.
