I have shared this story with my parents. I'm surprised at how quickly these dogs got into this condition -- the newspaper article says, "Animal Hospital of Waynesville veterinarian Kristen Hammett said she is devastated. Some of the dogs had been her patients, and Frizzell regularly brought them in for checkups until a few months ago." Not that a few months is too short a time when you aren't being fed, cleaned up after or groomed. I'm just shocked at how quickly things turned around for these dogs. But the dedication of these volunteers is the sun coming out from behind the clouds.
