It's unfortunate that some of the people most adament about not leaving New Orleans are getting so little publicity. They suffer the threat of disease, thirst, hunger, looters, or even death because they refuse to abandon their dogs. God bless their big hearts and unflagging courage.

This can't be good for their dogs.
They can get out and get their dogs out.
There are agencies set up to help them do this.
