For the many animal lovers on the Dose...

Rescuers are trying to catch as many abandoned pets they can. Many are being saved, but many have died. Many are frightened and don't go to rescuers right away. In this sad photo, two little dogs run past a house with a tragic note from rescuers. On a bright note, I did watch a live rescue of a large black Lab or Lab mix. A male who was initially frightened of the boat, but the rescuers gently lured him in with food, then slipped a rope leash on him. The Human Society is coordinating animal rescues, as well as their post-rescue care.

Love your tagline

It's too bad no one in the MSM or other places seem to know that.

Hi Wolf, On the San Diego local news,
a plane load of cats and dogs from the La. area
in carriers brought here to centers for medical help.

Also a few days ago several folks from the various
Human Societies and other agencies here left in trailers
to help pets in the flood areas

Rescuers are trying to catch as many abandoned pets they can. Many are being saved, but many have died.

Don't know if you saw it, but Ben Stein had a great editorial today on CBS's Sunday Morning show. He was talking about the pets and how they must be rescued--"Humans first, of course, but cats and dogs a close second." He also said (paraphrase) "How we treat those that can't speak for themselves (abandoned/lost pets) reflects what kind of people we are."

These little guys are just looking for their Masters. I know humans come first but it is so sad when animals are left and don't know what happened to their masters. Don't flame me please, not putting animals above humans. This whole week and day has gotten to me.
