Fake, but accurate enough for ratings.

Why rescue an animal that has the life expectancy of a gallon of milk?

Oprah is an entertainer and most supposed journalists are that as well. Pick both your nose and your news carefully.

Phony balony, plastic banana, goodtime rock 'n' rollers. But hey! It don't have to be the truth as long as it makes for good TV. Ratings. It's about the ratings.

Because the worth of a living thing is not measured by its lifespan.

I've rescued animals that have lived a decade, and I've rescued animals that only knew kindness for mere days before they died.

You're a noble human being.

Maybe I'm being a little tough on Oprah and Mathew.

Hamsters do occupy a "special place" in the lives of some Hollywood celebs.

Thank you for posting that collage!
Some of those photos just tear me up!
I love the one of the doggie giving a kiss to the person in the red shirt. The little girl in the bottom left corner looks like she won the lottery! I think I read that she found and rescued that dog at a destroyed gas station.

As a pet lover, I completely understand what these people are going through with their pets. If I was told that I had to evacuate from a storm (I came close with Hurricane Isabel), my cat is one of the first things to go with me. That AND my clothes, photographs, important papers, movies, cds, all into the truck and car. AND some furniture too if I thought it was going to be REAL bad and the house was going to be under water.
