The value of pets in the Civil War

[MaddieM]

I'm a doggy person. My boy is a samoyed, and so loyal that he sits on the window seat when I go out and looks out for me until I come home. I adore him, he's like my child. Everyone else in the family adores him too. When went through a particularly hard time, he was there for me when people weren't. I shall be devastated when he goes.
