Bless the innocents, and bless those that come to the aid of the least among us.

that dog. But can't have one presently..have enough animals to handle. lol

[txdemsftw]

6. That really melts my heart!

[DreamGypsy]

7. That brought some quick tears...

...the rescued dog looks very much like my Husky-German Shepherd mix...now visible on the lawn outside my window.

I hope there were some fellow angels helping get the beautiful pup up the ladder.

[H2O Man]

10. That dog

looks like my newest family member -- Rocky is half-German Shepherd, half Huskie. He was born in April; weighed 12 lbs when I got him in May; and is about 85 lbs now. And he is about as curious a being as I have ever encountered -- I could see him getting himself stuck in a position like this.

Thanks for posting this!

Not easy.

[calimary]

20. Gotta have it! This makes me smile!

We need our pets. They keep us sane and grounded and comforted.

[Uncle Joe]

21. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the pic, grits.

[AtomicKitten]

22. Such a beautiful sight.

In these kind of catastrophic events, I always wonder about the animals and pray when people evacuate they take their beloved critters with them. I can't even imagine leaving mine behind.

[HuskiesHowls]

[roguevalley]

[crunch60]

27. Unsung heroes are all around us. Hope they are both safe and dry now.

[MADem]

29. Is that dog licking that guy's ear?

That feller is no spring chicken, either. He's way closer to retirement than his first decade on the job.

[Aristus]

30. Wasn't it Ghandi who said

that the character of a nation can be measured by how it treats its animals?

[Iris]

31. Heart stopping. She looks just like my Sophie-dog.

We lost her to liver cancer earlier this year.
