I was happy to see this article in the newspaper this morning, at least there is a little bit of happiness for a man and his dog.
The 'pet rescue' operations deserve much praise, and some donations too!
Thanks for posting this uplifting story. Tears of happiness for Max and Clyde, his Beagle! Now they have a living piece of the life they had before that horrible tragedy.
Have you heard anything about the little ten year old boy, who was forced to leave his little dog, Snowball, when he boarded the bus to be evacuated from N.O.? I hope Snowball made it, and that they can be reunited if they haven't been already. I think so often about the trauma that poor child must have endured because of that, and the effect that it will likely have on him for some time.
Great post, potlatch! I'm so glad this man at least has his pet for comfort. I'll never forget "Here lies Vera" as a memory from this terrible storm. Katrina pets are being adopted up in Syracuse, NY. Shelter volunteers drove to NOLA with supplies, and returned with "orphaned" pets. Glad for the pups to find homes, but I wonder if sufficient effort was made to reunite pets with owners. Kind of haunts me.
I love happy endings!
Uplifting story BUMP!
