A dog's eye view of Katrina

News (and some very heartbreaking photos) about the fate of pets left behind in the wake of the hurricane has made its way across the pond. I think the most succinct summation of this problem that I've read came from a dog named Jinky, who writes his own blog. (I know, just work with me here...you give a dog a computer, and the next thing you know, they need their own blog...) ANYWAY, in a post titled "Katrina people are dumb and mean", Jinky writes: "Why can't people save dogs? Dogs save people ALL THE TIME." Well put, Jinky, well put. Luckily for Jinky and pet lovers like myself, there are people out there working hard specifically to save the lives of pets left behind in New Orleans and the surrounding area, many of them from organizations like Noah's Wish. You can read more about the ongoing efforts of the folks at Noah's Wish or donate by visiting them at http://www.noahswish.com . And if you want to read more of Jinky's philosophy, you can find his blog at http://hollywooddog.blogspot.com. A disclaimer, though: Jinky's a bit of a mutt, and he's one dog that's not afraid to use some colorful language from time to time, so consider yourself warned!
