Throughout my time with D Magazine, I got to meet some pretty incrediable people and hear how they have impacted their communities but my last week I was able to cover some of the coolest and most inspiring people I have met. Monday when I got in office I was greeted with one of the writers and she had a huge smile on her face and seemed really giddy. She told me that she finally got word that we are able to cover the story over a therapy ranch that helps people with animals. She told me that she has been working on this story for months and that it was perfect timing that I got to go with her and take pictures. When we got to the office area I met some of the instructors and started taking there pictures. It wasn't until they took me to the ranch where I really noticed how great these people really are. The man who ran this opperation was the nicest and most sincere people I have ever met. Plus I saw the man smoke what I thought was 50 plus cigarettes while we were there. He showed me the animals and explained why all of them have things that are wrong with them. He said the people and the animals feed off of each others energy and that it shows the people in therapy even though they seem like they are broken and can't get help, the animals have gone through the same thing and that if they can do it and continue to live a happy life, why couldn't they. I got to meet the first and only horse that has a prosthetic leg, the first and only sheep that has survived a heart transplant and many other incredible animals. This event was by far the best part of the summer and I cannot thank Ranch Hand Rescue enough for showing me around and inspiring me.
