Thak you for sharing this amazing story !
It’s one of my favorites, so uplifting… The power of this animal who survived so much, and gives so very much to others, and the love of the man who cares for him — truly amazing.
AWESOME Story, especially caring for an eagle, which has a pretty good lifespan! Have a Great Day!
I’ve been following this story for awhile now, and it always makes me teary-eyed when I read it… Just amazing, on so many levels. And the impact Freedom has on terminally ill people is otherworldly. ♥
