She provided free of charge, her business expertise to restore the neglected from its flea & tick infested hairy coat.
That has now become a pet for a new owner.

Tim Kennedy went on a goodwill mission with the group Save Our Allies. Tim mentions witnessing the disturbing scenes committed by the Taliban, which he saw when rescuing people in Afghanistan.
I am currently reading Tim’s book, Scars and Stripes. And Tim, in his own words is no angel. A former Green Beret Sniper and UFC Fighter (started in champion Chuck Liddell’s camp) & bar brawler, Tim within Save Our Allies found a moral mission.
Tim’s shirt says Free, and he helped thousands of people escape to Freedom.

The shot of Jack Nicklaus raising his putter in victory at the Masters on that famous day in 1986 remains an indelible image, one of the most memorable in sports history.
The glowing yellow shirt burned its way into the heart of everyone watching Nicklaus' miracle that day. In the wake of his final major victory, the color yellow became his symbol and the inspiration for a charitable effort that’s nearly reached nine figures.
Decades later, Jack and Barbara settled on yellow as a rallying color for a new charitable endeavor: Play Yellow. A collaborative effort between the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and the PGA Tour, Play Yellow’s mission is to raise money for children’s healthcare.
Inspired by the loss of a friends 13-year-old son, Craig Smith, (who wore yellow on tournament Sundays in support of Jack) from Ewing’s sarcoma - Bone cancer in his leg.
Nicklaus announced Play Yellow at the 2019 Players Championship with a bold goal of raising $100 million over five years. As of this year’s Honda Classic, the total raised stands at $97 million.
“If I didn’t have a yellow shirt on that day,” Nicklaus laughs, “I guess none of this would have happened.”
