Floyd - “Floyd is my Name”

My name is Floyd and it is a “GLORIOUS” name, for this is the
name I shall treasure forever…

I was found wandering the streets of Detroit. A woman watched
me as I struggled to walk. I was frightened, emaciated and
injured.  My injuries were not the kind you would imagine. No, I
was not hit by a car nor I did I climb an old fence or was I
attacked by a coyote… I was tortured and injured by a human
being. Cigarette burns, stab wounds, and cuts covered my body.
Infection was seeping out everywhere. The woman sat on the
cement and called me. I don’t know why I went to her something
inside told me she was kind. The woman picked me up and
whispered in my ear,
I didn’t know what that meant quite yet…She picked me up like a baby and carried me to her car. She drove
quite a while. She took me to the hospital. Everyone there showered me with love, hope and kindness.
They bathed me, cleaned my wounds and gave me all the
medical care I needed to help me recover.
"The signs of abuse"
I am safe and happy now in foster care. My
foster daddy carries me around like a baby
and he calls me that wonderful sounding
word “Floyd”. He whispers words of love and
hope to me just like the nice lady and I feel
safe.
" Sweet Floyd in his foster dad's arms"
"The sun is now shining on Floyd"
I can feel the goodness already. A fresh start, a new beginning a new life… My name is “Floyd” and it is has a
glorious sound. My name is “Floyd” and it is a glorious name.
I will treasure this name forever.

recovered after his perilous journey.
To know Floyd is to know “Hope.”
He has showed us that wounds and scars can heal and even when we lose hope in mankind, we somehow gain it
back by simply knowing Floyd and remembering the kind people who cared enough to help a helpless,
frightened boy we all now know as “Floyd.”

"Sweet Floyd getting hugs from a volunteer"
“I love you.”
I weighed 16 pounds when I was rescued and
now I weigh 19. I look like a Staffy, Boxer and
something else that is very small. If I hadn’t
been starved most of my life I might have been
bigger.


The Dr. says I’m healthy now. What I really
need now is to know that I will always be loved
from this day on. I have a lot of years a head
of me now. I need those good years to forget
about the bad years of pain and suffering I
endured.
