Has Snowball been found?
MSNBC ^ | 9/8/2005 | MSNBC

Amid the heart-wrenching moments of devastation from deadly hurricane Katrina, there is at least one bright spot. Snowball, a small white dog taken by police from a sobbing little boy as he and his family were boarding a bus at the Superdome, has been located, USA Today reported Thursday.

Snowball is now at the Louisiana SPCA in Gonzalez and will be reunited with his owner, U.S. Department of Agriculture veterinarian Terry Conger told the newspaper. The Humane Society of the United States and the Louisiana SPCA rescued 43 dogs and 16 cats from the Superdome and delivered them to a temporary shelter at Lamar-Dixon Expo Center.

The image of this little boy has been breaking my heart all week. Thank goodness he will be reunited with his dog--a bright spot in an otherwise tragic situation.

I agree. I hope Snowball and his human (LOL) are re-united soon.

This little boy has had enough upheaval. Maybe having his dog back will help smooth things out a bit.

I also hope that many other dogs/cats are reunited with their humans soon.

I've already donated money and goods (food, litter boxes, sleeping pads) to organizations caring for displaced pets.

I know that Best Friends and Noah's Wish are two of I'm sure many animal rescue organizations sending personnel and resources to the local shelters in the Gulf Coast region.
