I debated on entering for a while, then I debated on which photograph to enter. I kept coming back to one photograph, over and over. I know I could have picked a prettier one, or a more creative one, but the one I finally chose is very close to my heart. This image haunts me to this day, and I can't believe she entered and left my life less than a year ago. If I could have, I would have kept her and loved her forever. She surmounted incredible odds to find her way to me, and to this day I can only hope and pray she did end up with the warm, loving home she deserved so much. Some of you may remember her, some of you may not, but I will never forget her, or the haunting way she used to call for me.

This is my Howler.
