Acts of Kindness are the building blocks that we, as a Caring Population, must have to survive this period that our Nation is going through. Thank You for posting !!!

The vet called my husband and reported that the dog has been returned to his rightful owner. We did not receive a thank you from its owner which miffed my husband and prompted a discussion which matched Tommy's comment. 

Continue to be kind to each other. Don't assume that minor ingratitudes mean anything-- never attribute to malice that which can be caused by stupidity. There are many reasons for a thank you to be missed-- they may be embarrassed or felt awkward from loosing their dog. They may have sent a child to pick up the dog who was not self aware enough to reach out. They may have had other urgent issues to deal with. None of this should be a reason to assume the worst and to be unkind in the future. 

That, and remember to say thank you.
