Cody's story and the power of community

I've been the News Editor at Pet Connection since December of 2009. I've probably written about 120 stories over there by now, maybe more. Of that growing body of work, none are as important or, I think, as powerful as this column. It was published this morning on the Pet Connection blog. I'm intentionally not posting it here because I'd much prefer you go over there and read it (and respond, if you're so inclined). The story of Cody, Stephanie and the remarkable generosity of total strangers has completely blown me away. Very humbly, I'm more excited and proud of this post than any single piece of writing I've composed to date, ever. That's a bold statement, I know, but I believe it's that good. I hope you enjoy, and consider helping the cause by chipping in to Cody's fund, or at the very least, spreading the word.
