Marie and John Kirkpatrick have opened their home to pets for years. The couple has adopted all of their dogs. They believe that rescuing dogs is the best way to give them a home. One of their dogs inspired Marie Kirkpatrick to write a children’s book. Frankie, a Belgian Malinois, was adopted by the family years ago after struggling to find a forever home. "We [thought he was really cute]. So we brought him home.” The family fell in love with him instantly and made a permanent home for Frankie.
