[nagdu] Today is rescue day

[Nicole B. Torcolini]

It's interesting and sad the way that some people think of animals, 
especially ones that are so affectionate and intelligent. I know that it 
truly must be hard for them, but you still have to wonder. Oh, we don't have 
room for this animal, so it will just have to die. No, they're not humans, 
but I've never heard of an orphanage putting down a child for whom they 
could not find a home.

Hi Marty;
You are doing a wonderful thing for those doggie souls. Smile. Nice to hear
about some happy endings for some deserving animals. My beagle mix is a
rescue from the South and she has given us many reasons to be grateful for
being chosen as her people.She and my guide Verona get along great and are
great company for one another.
