Peachy said it ALL. Be very thankful for all the good people still left in this world. I only pray
someone would take care of my "Foxy" if I could not. That would be like finding a lost child and
just keeping someone else's child. You just do not
abandon your child on any highway either. WAKE UP
PEOPLE!

It's so sad to realize the heart break that's still being experienced by people as a result of Katrina. The lady who adopted the dog had grown to love him as her own pet. The man who lost him as a result of the legalities of evacuating New Orleans because of Katrina wasn't responsible either. The angels who rescued the thousands and thousands of animals left behind because of the inability of their owners to come back home were in desperate situations and there's nothing but kudos and thanks to them for all their hard work. I'm sorry for the dog too because he had gotten a new owner who loved him and I'm sure he loved her too. We just rescued a dog from the middle of the highway here in Atlanta. He was loping down the middle of the express lane and wasn't paying any attention to the horns blowing all around him nor the near misses of the cars as they swerved to miss him. He was in shock and it took us over 30 minutes to be able to catch him and get him in the car and out of danger. He was a MESS and is still extremely nervous and suffering from his ordeal. We're fostering him to try and get him ready for a new home and because of the condition he was in when we found him, including emaciated, filthy, and apparently injured during his ordeal on the street - if his original owners tried to get him back we'd right it tooth and nail. While I'm not saying what the dog we rescued went through is anything like what the Katrina people and dog went through - I do understand how connected we have already gotten to this dog and we've only had him 3 weeks. He's grown to depend on us and we feel so blessed that we were able to save him from dying under the wheels of a car or starving to death. I'm sure the lady who adopted the Katrina dog loved him - and she showed that by realizing he needed to return home and taking him back to his original owner. God bless all those who got caught in the upheavel that was Katrina.
