I thought you might like those pix! Do you remember that wonderful picture with the President and the rescue dog from Ground Zero - the President was holding the dogs paw like he was shaking his hand. I wish I could find it; I know I have a printed copy at home.

I was busy crying my eyes out last night when I was watching the news with a fellow who was reunited with his two dogs (chihuahuas) in NO. Whilst the human tragedy is horrific my heart aches so much for all the furry friends left behind.

I was busy crying my eyes out last night when I was watching the news with a fellow who was reunited with his two dogs (chihuahuas) in NO.

Did you see the story of the man and his little black-and-tan Chihuahua who both survived the storm together? He would not leave his little dog. So he held the dog as the storm surge washed the house out. Then he grabbed a tree, still holding the little dog. Then they floated away together on some debris. He never let go of the little dog.

When he was finally rescued, the dog went with him. He was interviewed sitting at a picnic table, with the dog standing on the table. He has nothing left in the world, but he has his beloved dog.
