I think the people in the Superdome are some of the less fortunate in our society, war veterans, the disabled, the poor, the elderly and I think they need their dogs too. All of them could probably legally be classified as servixe dogs imo. Last edited by SoCalyorkiLvr; 09-01-2005 at 04:54 PM. | |

| A little spontaneous journaling, I suppose! Re-read my post. Almost sounds made-up it's so awful. Anyway, really touched a nerve with me. If I sounded mad, I was hurt. If I sounded mad, I was frustrated. If I sounded mad, maybe for just a slight breath, I was. I'm over it now! |

| The story on yahoo news today made me cry...In Louisiana the buses were taking the people from the superdome to texas, a little boy had his dog in his arms and the POLICE told the boy he could not take the dog with him. The little boy sobbed "Snowball, snowball" until he got physically sick. A reporter asked the police officer what would happen to the dog and he said he had no idea. I mean I understand the officials are worried about the health of the people but don't they understand what this little boy has been put through??? Its amazing his dog was even still alive and then to have it left to die and this poor little child now has even less.... makes me so angry I just want to go find that dog and take him to his owner! |

| It sure did make me think. I never considered having to leave my pets behind. Especially with children, they would continue to ask for years what had happened to the pets, another constant reminder of the tragic event. Of all the heartbreaking stories coming from the hurricane, many did not bring this upon themselves. I am very saddened the way the story is playing out as if we had known all along this would happen and that we're not even trying to save these people. Kim - I appreciate your thinking of this, the world would be a better place if more people trained their dogs.

You had every right to be nerved with this post I think it is very rude for such things to be said about people they have never met. Have you all been to the dome to know that they aren't letting service dogs in or that they are really ripping pets out of kids hands? Carters Mom who quotes in her signature- "Don't waste your time on that which is not worthy of it." I am just wondering what or who is worthy and who decides what is worthy?

| So, are you saying that we could say our dog is a service dog if she likes everybody and makes them feel better? What do you tell people that ask you what kind of service dog she is? ?????? |

| It has been on the news that pets are not allowed in the dome and many other shelters. A service dog has to have certain training. You must certify them, you can't just say so; I'm sure during a time like this - you would need proof. It is a very sad situation and I sincerely hope that they will get help to all of those people very soon. It is so sad, especially the children; there are babies who have not had food or milk for 3 days! Can you imagine, it is just horrible that such a thing could be happening. Try to think positive and do not let this horrible news coverage make you bitter about these poor starving people with no place to sleep, no showers, no home, no job, no nuthin'.

Kim, Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention I am a diabetic and on insulin and I think now that I will see about training my dogs as service dogs in case I have an episode of low or too high sugar. Can I do this? I also want to train them to be search and rescue dogs this is going to take a LOT of work on all of us but I think it can be done. Everyone, Thank you for being such a great community of people. We all have opinions and I know sometimes we say things that hurt or anger others and I am sure that is noones intentions. You all are brilliant with advice and compassion on most occasions. Thanks for being here and thank you Admin for setting this site up so we could be. Susan Kissa, Max, and Hugh's Mom | |

| I was up most of the night thinking about this post- I know it is none of my business but it still really bothers me that someone can think like that in todays day and age. I will shut up now on this subject but I have to say this -if we don't help "those not worthy" who will? I guess that is why I am me set on this earth to help those not worthy or healthy enough to help themselves!

| I don't think Lisa or anyone intends to be mean. The information is so overwhelming and unbelievable. I am watching this morning the hospital evacuee's - how awful this is. The elderly, the infants - and I wonder how they can even begin to rescue animals with all the people suffering. At the same time, the poor animals, wild and pets are confused, now hot and starving with no water. It is like a disaster movie and it makes you feel rather helpless. Even the press seems to want to blame someone - anyone, and I have even seen them print on their rolls that these people had their chance to evacuate but did not, or should have gone to shelters as instructed. Why do we have to find blame. I think more energy needs to continue to be how to help, but those of us watching feel very helpless. I would like everyone to try to look for the positive. They are doing everything they can - no one is taking the situation lightly. Sometimes we say stupid things out of frustration, but it is not what is in our hearts.
