Her Story: "Animals and Us" by Christin Nunnally

Always be kind to animals. The love you receive in return will always be worth more than any money you might spend out. I found this out when I rescued my pets. Despite the fact that everyone one of them was someone else's discard, they have provided more love and joy than I could ever ask for. All their loyalty in return for a warm bed and a square meal. You won't find that kind of gratitude from most human beings these days.

This is all part of the Reader's Digest continual effort to enrich and simplify Americans' lives.  This particular project "Your Life...The Reader's Digest Version" celebrates the launch of the new book, "Life... The Reader's Digest Version," which is also the first of a new series, by creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people's personal stories to be widely read and for the opportunity of one story to be published in Reader's Digest to its more than 30 million readers, plus be the recipient of a major cash award. Several runner-up stories will also receive attention and cash prizes.  Stories will be voted on by consumers and winners will ultimately be selected by Reader's Digest editors.  Americans can vote for and submit 150-word stories about lessons, simple advice, funny moments and other life stories at facebook.com/ReadersDigest.
