Seven years ago, Tina Hallett the owner of Urban Meditation rescued her 'Angel dog' inside a McDonald's about to be sold in a dog fighting transaction. Tina could not bear the thought of this tiny pup ever being trained for fighting. Tina then gave up all the cash she had on her, plus enough for a cheeseburger (Kiki's first meal) and brought her to a safe home.
Kiki wasn’t just rescued that day—she became the rescuer too. For Tina, Kiki brought more than just companionship. She offered comfort during difficult times, loyalty in every moment, and a deep, soul-healing love that only a dog can give. “She made me feel awoken,” Tina says. “She made me feel like I was the more important thing in her life."
Through the years, Kiki has been a source of strength, laughter, and unconditional love. Her presence turned an ordinary home into a place of joy and warmth. Whether it was long walks, quiet cuddles, or just her steady heartbeat nearby, Kiki became Tina’s anchor.
The bond they share is unshakable—proof that sometimes, when you rescue a dog, they end up rescuing you right back. For Tina Hallett, Kiki isn’t just a pet. She’s a reminder that love finds us in the most unexpected places—and that one act of kindness can change everything.
