Oh Geez.... now it's getting bad. That poor skinny baby with it's pasterns all broken down and everything. Bless those Guardsmen for feeding him. I hope they rescued him so he can be fattened up.
And please tell me the photographer of the first pup rescued him/her???
Have you seen the story of the "DOG IN BOAT" ?
The swimming pit bull was cut loose from the chain he was on and he swam after the rescue boat for a while but then swam back to his own house.
They gave him food and water there.
The skinny pup looks like it wasn't weaned that long ago and probably had no fat reserves built up.
The page that came from tells of dogs everywhere trying to actually jump INTO the soldier's trucks as they drive through.
[of course, they may be some of those "vicious feral pack dogs" and are actually trying to attack the soldiers]..../dripping sarcasm
Is "DOG IN BOAT" sad?
I've about had my fill of sad.
Too bad I wasn't looking to lose weight because these pitiful dogs sure have put me off my feed...:-\

Many pets were abandoned when people had to leave their homes due to Hurricane Katrina. The soldiers are with the 1137th National Guard Military Police from Jefferson Barracks.
