Posted by Sandra on in Making a Difference
PetsAnimals are people too, don't ya know?! Yes I'm being a bit cheeky, but for many of us our animals are our family.

It's so easy to get caught up in the angst of everyday life – the busyness, the stress, the responsibilities. Why do we allow all the crazy? When it's all said and done so much of it isn't very meaningful anyway. Here at DAC, we know that something as material as your ol' car can make one of those trips around the sun meaningful indeed!
