• Goodness, the thought of this poor thing being confined to a bathroom for ten years has to be one of the most heartbreaking in the world. We could not imagine doing this to any living creature for a day, let alone for 10 whole years. The relief that she feels, now that she has been rescued, must be amazing. Of course, she doesn't know much else, and she must be scared of the change, but it must feel like the whole universe has opened up to her. So many new things to explore, so many places, so many smells. She must feel alive for the first time in ten years, and we are so, so thankful to the person who rescued her and made that happen.

• And we have to say a huge, huge thank you to the internet as well. This is what we are here for. This is what the internet should be for. We could only wish that this would happen more often - that people would come together to do kind things like this, to help save animals in need, to make a real, positive change in the world. It gives us hope for humanity, really, to see things like this happening online. There are so many good people out there.
