I read the same story minutes ago on www.cnn.com and it just breaks my heart. The poor husband & wife who had to leave their pets behind because they could only take one item and that was a plastic bin of the husbands medications. And of the make-shift gas chamber the rescuers had to make to euthanize some of the pets. What an awful situation. I'm sure it was awful for the rescuers to have to do that. I can't wait to get home and hug & kiss my 2 cats & 1 dog (I'm at work).
