This article sums up the sadness that i read about every day.

I frequented a New Orleans pet forum before during and after the hurricane. Some of the members were out there and some knew people that were out there putting their lives on the line. Some people saw and heard things they were never meant to know about. Thanks to these brave souls some justice may be served some day. Amongst all the Hell there was also goodness. Because of activists and people who were in places they had no authorization to be in some dogs lives were saved. It may or may not have made it to the media but i got to read of once incidence where some rescuers were able to save some dogs that were about to be executed. Know that even though not all were able to be saved some were thanks to good people that REFUSED to be bullied, manipulated, and cowed.

I'm sure it's not much consolation for the people that will never get back their precious friends.

Trust me... no mere threat would have pried King out of my arms. It would have been me or them. And there is no way S.O. would have let them take me... with out taking him out. (we wouldn't have been in that situation though... we would have evacuated. ...Heck even in strong winds I prepare as if a tornado may happen. But IF we had been... .)
