Fitz and Me, and how he saved me

I fell in love with Fitz when I saw his picture online through a Rescue. I told the Rescue owner I really wanted him but wasn't sure I was ready since recently losing my previous dog to lymphoma and I was going through a very deep depression. She knew how much I needed him and rather than letting anyone else take him, she held him for me. Several weeks later, I met Fitz in person and he has brought love and joy into my life every day since then, almost a year ago. Just 5 days ago we had a terrible house fire and miraculously survived. When the flames started, I grabbed Fitz and ran. We don't currently have a home, but we have Fitz. Nothing else matters!
