Do you have any suggestions for how to go about trying to find that little boy's dog, Snowball? I know there are thousands of animals and worried owners needing help, but this little boy sounds like he was utterly devastated and needlessly so. Do you know yet what the system is for dealing with animals that are being confiscated in connection with the evacuation of the Superdome? Or any ideas how to go about finding out? Reuniting the boy and dog is not realistic at this time, but just getting word to him that the dog is safe would no doubt be a huge help.
If that little boy had a choice, I'm sure he would of stayed with his dog (I would). The trauma he will suffer from that incident with the dog is all he will remember and will outweigh any trauma he feels losing his home. Some people will never understand the connection.
