The Choice

So angry was the Creator over man's mistreatment of animals that He drew a line with His finger upon the ground. On one side were the Beasts and on the other were the People. The line grew so deep and so wide that neither side could be near the other ever again. But at the very last moment, Dog jumped over, to remain forever at Man's side.

Street Dogs in México City


Here's an interesting & short documentary I found today....


The fight to control the dog population and to improve the lives of the street dogs in México sometimes seems so completely overwhelming and endless. I keep thinking what can I do from here? Is it money? Should I be dedicating more time? Should I adopt more dogs (really not an option)? I think about all the dogs at Peanut Pet Shelter every day. I think about what Andy & Jen go through on a daily basis trying to care for those dogs and make a difference. There must be something more I can do...there must be something more WE can do.

Dogs in the U.S. and Canada have an amazing amount of resources. Yes, there are dogs that need help here but there are many, many, many more people & organizations to help them. I tried to volunteer with the Humane Society and was told they don't need anymore volunteers! Even with the shelters like Peanut and the shelter profiled in the video in México City, that would equate to the tiniest of fractions for what we have here.

Peace to all! Here's hoping for solutions in 2010!
