We were driving down the highway the other day when I noticed the animal control van in front of us. There was a little pug standing up scratching frantically at the window. You could see the distress on his face and imagine his yelps. It near broke my heart. I had read just a short while ago about how with the economic situation that a lot of dogs are being left behind when people have to leave their homes. The shelters both humane and not so are full to the brim. Which made watching this little fella harder. There is no room for all these dogs, a lot of whom probably had loving parents and families but, because of how things have turned could not take the dogs with them. The thought of that poor little puppy heading to the pound where a fate of a big needle and a long sleep most likely awaited him was hard to reconcile. I know after Hurricane Katrina a lot of people came forward to adopt the animals left behind. My sister in law Judy was one of them. But, who's coming forward to save these animals?
