I admire the way that Long Island resident Alexander Pekoff who is 23 years of age is following his passion of running 600 miles from Niagara Falls to Montauk Point New York to raise money for a charity called Adopt A Boxer Rescue. Alexander adopted his dog Lucas at an Adopt A Boxer Rescue shelter in Scranton Pennsylvania a few years ago. Lucas has three legs at birth. Alexander is now taking on this huge task to raise awareness of Boxer dogs who are in need of a good home. Alexander is getting donations from well wishers through the GoFundMe.com site. His goal is to raise $11,000 dollars for the dog charity.

I hope he can reach his goal, humans are cruel and so many dogs (as well as other animals) are abused.

@Deepizzaguy Parents should teach to their children to respect animals from a very young age.

I hope so as well since animals do not need to be mistreated by humans at all.

Raising money for anything to do with dogs is a worthy cause in my book! Have a good week.

Dogs got a treat. Did the dogs also borrow money from the bank?
