Richard -
Thank you for posting the photos of the prisoners working at the shelter. Working with animals is a truly wonderful way to help rehabilitate folks that have taken the wrong paths in life. There is something about working with and being responsible for animals that just stirs the soul. And the smiles on the inmates faces are just priceless!!
We know you are still grieving, but it is such a joy to see everything that Fella inspired!!

Each day gets a little better especially when I am doing something for the Old Fella cause. The hurt is still there and most anything will bring tears to the surface. I am in the process of setting up the Old Fella Memorial fund so we can put his memorial on the property one day. I am looking forward to that day with great anticipation. When I am able to see that accomplished along with the shelter and the spay neuter clinic I will know for sure his legacy will live on. There is a lot of work still to be done and animals to be saved so the work continues.
The Inmates from the jail have also added a new dimension to the Old Fella legacy as we see the benefits from this adventure. Many good things are yet to come and for Old Fella, he can be proud and cheer us on as we reach new goals every day.

Looking at the pictures of the inmates and the animals it is my opinion that they may both be reaping the benefits of this program. I see a lot of smiles on the inmates faces  .

As some of you may recall from rare posts I did, I am from Canada, and I wanted to nominate Dixie Flyer for the Animal Planet hero....there were probably also other readers from Canada and they probably will not be able to do it.
I had fill up everything on Animal Planet and wrote the 250 words max text with their requirements for space etc...and without a US address I cannot submit or participate in the Animal Planet (due to the contest), we need to be US resident. I did not want to cheat by writing a US address and then creating trouble for Richard's nomination.
Sad that I cannot show how far the dedication and love for animals that Dixie Flyer has, has touched people. I had hoped showing this may have helped in his nomination of Hero.
This is the text I had written, maybe some people can used some of it and correct my English too 
"Richard Daniels, known as Dixie Flyer by RV’ers at RVNet, rescued a wounded stray dog from a campground, a few years ago. A Forum thread started the same day and this old stray became part of the Daniels family and known as 'Old Fella'. Dixie and Fella’s thread on RVnet forum created an internet family across USA & Canada. Readers have laughed, cried, rescued animals and even organized rallies, where people met and share with other followers of Fella's. Because of Old Fella, another stray dog, hurt and in need of amputation, got hospitalized, rescued and adopted…the other side of NA. Nothing stopped Richard! Fom East to West, he organized a group of RV’ers to bring the amputated rescue to her new home. Old Fella’s story and Richard’s devotion prompted many folks across USA & Canada to adopt rescue pets from shelters. Richard established the Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue, a non-kill shelter. Old Fella died from cancer, a week ago. Outburst of grief on Fella’s thread has been tremendous. Richard (and wife Sue) are heroes, and though Old Fella departed, his legacy lives on, inspiring animal lovers everywhere. Richard and the Fella’s RVnet family made me proud to be an RV’er. The example of love and dedication towards animals that Richard gives to us all, makes him my nomination for the reward."
