Favorite Memory
Franklin’s gentleness was felt instantly. I found comfort in his presence, and I believe the same was true for him. We would curl up in a corner, nestled in the straw, with my head resting on his side. With our eyes closed, everything felt perfect. Meeting Franklin at Luvin Arms was my first encounter—and my first honor—of caring for someone at a farmed animal sanctuary. His presence and peace live on.
