Here's today's feel-good story:

Hand-written, personalized notes to help potential dog adopters get to know their potential pups were the idea of Kensey Jones, a second-grade teacher at St. Michael’s Episcopal church in Richmond, Virginia. She also volunteers at Richmond Animal Care and Control and needed to come up with a writing assignment idea.
