Many of you may be familiar with the movie and the concept of "Pay It Forward". The idea being that if a kindness is done to you, you then do something kind for three people. If they then follow through, you can see how the acts of kindness will multiply.
Well, I heard about a similar idea, only it is "Paw It Forward". http://www.examiner.com/x-37369-Utica-Dogs-Examiner~y2010m3d22-Paw-Pay-It-Forward-Day-April-29th
Ricochet is an amazing Golden Retriever out in San Diego who believes in helping others. She does plenty of good works for charities and has been asked to be a spokesperson for the April 29th "Pay or Paw It Forward Day". I think this is something we can all work on in our individual communities.
If you have some neat ideas about how to "paw it forward' let us know!

From Hokey:
Just so everybody knows, that is MY paw in the photo on examiner.com. Sort of like the women who do hand modeling for hand creme ads!
I personally like the idea of "paw it forward". I have always done my part. I am a certified therapy dog though we had to stop visits during my chemo due to worries about me picking up infections. I have done walkathons for Rome Humane Society. I am great at working with kids and ducks - I am REALLY good with ducks!
OK, I admit I am perhaps not the best about sharing treats or toys but nobody else wants to share with me either.
