Miriam has such a compassionate demeanor with animals. I have witnessed her loving care toward dogs first hand when we were at a ranch that took in dogs that had been mistreated and had lack of affection. Miriam cleaned up their living quarters with no fear or disgust. She hugged each dog as if they were her own and as if she had known them forever. I guess animals can sense when they are loved because before one knew each dog formed alone behind Miriam and followed her with each step she took as she cleansed their food and water plates and fed each one individually adding the hug they so desperately needed. Everyone stood around amazed at how her kindness had affected each dog leaving tears in our eyes for the kindness of genuine love act she provided. I have had the privaledge to have had Miriam care for our own pets with such loving care I would highly recommend her to all! Miriam always speaks highly of how she plans to someday open a doggy day care and a rescue for all and any animal in need of care and love for the rest of their days.
