Why didn't you link to the actual article? I hate it when people link only to the home page. Grrrrrrr!

It is sad because animals/pets in all their innocence have absolutely no understanding of what is happening.

Did anyone ever find out why George W Bush took away the poor child's dog?

[GovernmentShrinker]

I'm sure this little boy couldn't understand either. And in light of all the details, I don't understand. Rules shouldn't be allowed to trump common sense. Having that little doggie on the bus couldn't possibly have been more disruptive than having a hysterically crying and vomiting child on the bus. And at the end of the ride, there were animal rescue workers prepared to take pets to nearby shelters, so owners could be assured they were safe, and even visit them.

but saving one dog will change the world for that one dog!

Incorrect, actually saving one dog will change the world for one little boy

I swear I did??
I don't know why it didn't show up?

The little guy tried to get on the bus to be with his boy!

I know, I know, it just seems impossible that those standing by watching weren't moved by it

Good Lord.

I have said it before. Either I get out with my pets, or I just don't get out.

They are part of my family.

I got an email just now from "Sheila" at Small Paws Rescue (a Bichon Frise rescue service based in Tulsa, Ok.) that Snowball has been positively identified at a Baton Rouge, LA., shelter, and is safe. They are now attempting to find the little boy.

I thought that dog looked like a Bichon, and, sure enough, he was.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this! I have a beloved bichon (my second) and just felt awful seeing the pics of the poor doggy being taken away and then trying to get on the bus. I love my bichon so much; there is no friendlier, happier, more loving breed out there! I could never leave any of my three dogs unless it meant that human beings would then actually miss the chance to be rescued. Small dogs can fit on the owner's lap or in his or her arms. Some provision can be made for them almost wherever you end up.

I fervently hope this is a true ending to this story and that the boy and his dog can be reunited! I am familiar with Small Paws so at least it is a real rescue group, and that part of the story is true.

The folks at Small Paws Rescue ROCK! If anyone could get this mission accomplished it would be that wonderful group of people!

HOORAY!!

See? 'Ol St. Francis is pulling for Snowball!

[apackof2]

[ConorMacNessa]

I hope they find the child soon!

[pugmama]

Is there a way you can find out from your find how the dog ended up there?
i just want to know what good person(s) made this happen.
God bless them!!
My Veterinarian husband has been busy all weekend working with the Vet associations to help out with supplies etc.
I have donated money and time and have been crying a lot this past week for all pets and owners in La, Ms, and Al.
