Charlotte Lankard: An awakened soul
Love of animals leads to a richer life.

Arlene Johnson is a friend to animals. She lives with two dogs — Cluny and Luther — and when family and friends come for dinner, their dogs are invited, too.
A few years ago one of my sons and I were guests at a Thanksgiving dinner with her family and a host of friends. While guests gathered around the table, all the dogs played together in the backyard.
A few weeks ago, Arlene was on her way to work when she noticed a dove on the side of the road with a broken leg trying to hop up on the curb. Torn, because she had a deadline at work, she drove on, but when she completed her task, she returned to rescue the wounded bird.
Veterinary clinics do not treat wild animals, and she was referred to the WildCare Foundation in Noble, www.wildcareoklahoma.org.
WildCare accepts any native injured or orphaned wild animal struggling to survive with the goal of releasing a healthy animal back to nature. They assess the animal's condition and provide the needed medical care and housing until rehabilitated. An animal can be taken there any day of the year from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
