SHELBY, Mont., Feb. 17 — The collie in Pen 71 carefully nudges her gleaming steel food bowl, just enough to tip some of the kibbles to the ground. She noses the nuggets into a small hole in the dirt floor and pushes wood chips over them.

As a dog lover, thought you would be interested.

I think it is wonderful! but for the sake of the dogs, can't they adopt them out?? We would consider taking one.

Kudos to the volunteers indeed! Thanks.

I suspect anyone has 171 dogs. She has some kind of a story that got her a hung jury the first time around, but it would be nice if she would sign over the dogs, so they can be adopted out.

I am sure that is there aim but they had to get them healthy first

I bet they can't do anything about adopting the dogs, until the case is closed. If the owners would win, I imagine they will be able to keep them.

Whenever you begin to feel the world is going down the tubes, just read an article concerning the actions of dog lovers somewhere - it gives one hope.

God bless these kind people and may these dogs find good homes.

To me, dogs show a gentleness, innocence, and loyalty that is admirable in a society filled with corruption, greed, selfishness and inhumanity to others.

It would be interesting to look into whether or not these horrible dictators had the ability to love animals. I would expect not. I would expect that a sociopath (sp?) also does not have the ability to connect with an animal. Therefore, dog/animal lovers must be examples of humanity in our society. They have the capability of seeing and appreciating the qualities of innocence, loyalty, kindness and caring shown by the animal kingdom. The sociopaths of our society do not see or appreciate such and find their joys in torture, hurting or mistreating others in society.

I enjoy watching this show. Some of the horror, that these animals have went through. To see them rescued, and placed in loving homes.
How could people, be so blind,and so cruel.
