Patrick The Miracle Dog Does A Peace Summit

The picture that touched the world: Patrick shortly after he was found.

We just learned that the Newark Peace Education Summit, scheduled to be held in Newark, New Jersey, on May 13-15 has named Patrick, the pit bull mix who was found just hours from death in a trash bin the day before St. Patrick's Day, their "Peace Hero of the Week." Read all about this declaration here: www.newarkpeace.org/peace-hero/patrick-miracle-dog.

This summit will explore the possibilities of peace and nonviolence in today's world with leaders and scholars from across our country and the world. A wonderful few days to be sure-but we particularly love the idea that a conference dedicated to nonviolence has chosen this sweet, terribly abused dog as their "peace hero". Patrick is no doubt a survivor, and a simultaneous testament to both human cruelty and compassion.

Here's a more recent photo of Patrick looking much happier!

We hope you take a moment to read about the details of this extraordinary conference via the above link. And while you're at it, please check out Patrick's Facebook page to follow his recovery and rallies that are being held on his behalf: www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=167396563315499
