A little over 2 years ago Harli was driving near Smithfield when she noticed something on the side of the road. Upon closer inspection, the white patch that caught her eye was a 6-week old puppy: actually 2, but the brother had died. Harli brought that live puppy home, named her Trixie, and she's been in the family ever since. Lots of other people would have (and did) just drive on by. But Harli did the ultimate dog rescue that day. And Trixie is happy and healthy and a wonderful member of my home. Harli has worked in a veterinary hospital as kennel assistant here in Hampton. She has volunteered at the Portsmouth animal welfare shelter. And, she is an avid watcher of all thing Animal Planet on tv. Her love of animals is an integral part of her person. I think that deep in her heart she still wants to become a vet technician someday.
