inspiration.

>  Cindy Lou, a stray that was adopted by a theatrical animal trainer who
took
> her on the road to understudy Sandy in Annie Warbucks. To his amazement,
> Cindy Lou performed the part better than the dog they had originally
picked
> for the role, and she ended up finishing the national run and opening New
> York production. She is currently starring in the Broadway revival of
Annie.
>
>  Hugo, whose owner, Nancy, is legally deaf. Hugo is Nancy's ear; he jumps
> when the doorbell rings, alerts her if the smoke alarm sounds, and fetches
> her when the microwave beeps.
>
>  Daisy, a wounded stray who could barely walk, was found by a family who
was
> vacationing on a lake in Tennessee. The family took her to a veterinarian
and
> nursed her back to health. Not only can she walk again, but she even jogs
> daily with her owner -- Vice President Al Gore.
>
>  Jett, who came to live with Jefferson, a physically impaired child. Jett
> himself was physically impaired when adopted due to a bout with a virus.
Boy
> and dog immediately bonded, and each has since succeeded and flourished
> largely due to their friendship with one another.
>
>  Dorsey, a timid German shepherd, abused by a previous owner, who came out
of
> his shell thanks to a loving family. He is now a qualified Search and
Rescue
> dog and a frequent visitor to a local nursing home where he has charmed
all
> the residents with his calm friendliness.
