Hillary tried to get work and did apply for government assistance, but was advised she was ineligible, having been out of the country for so long.  She was running out of cash and feeling miserable but the two constants in her life were the dogs. When she felt like crying Robbie and Cleo were there and would often put their heads on her lap to comfort the woman who lifted them out of an appalling situation.

Then, one day a dog trainer approached her in a parking lot …

“Perry walked up to me and said that he had been told about my plight.  He’s generously let me and the dogs move into a cottage in the middle of his estate, and he’s even said that I can start working for him if I want,” Hillary said.  “I couldn’t believe it, he’s just been so kind to me.  Everybody has, I can’t thank people enough for the generous donations or kind messages of support.”

Perry has 10 acres of land in the country that serves as a dog-walking center and sanctuary.  It’s ideal for Cleo and Robbie.

“Now everything has turned around and I’m on top of the world. I’ve been here since Sunday – it’s been unbelievable sleeping in a proper bed again,” Hillary gushed.  “Of course, the dogs sleep on there with me, but it’s brilliant. I really feel like I’ve won the lottery.”

“There are loads of best bits about being in a house again, but the bed is definitely a wonderful thing.  Also, having hot showers is brilliant. And I’ve finally been able to clean my car.  The dogs are happy, too – you can see it in their faces.”

Because she was given more money than she could have imagined, Hillary wants to make sure she pays the kindness forward.

Hilary is quick to remind everyone that she could not possibly have did it all alone. She is, indeed, paying her good fortune forward by donating her time and funds to homeless people and dogs.
