I am so happy to see people loading their pets into the lifeboats with them.

Katrina taught everyone a lesson: let the people bring their pets!

1. I don't think I could leave without my dog

They might think I'm crazy, but I don't see how I could do it.

[Angry Dragon]

2. Why would anyone leave their kids behind??

3. I would never leave my pets behind. It's one for all and all for one at my house.

4. Me too

My cats would have to go with me. Bundled into a carrier, of course.

6. Same here, .... I agree!

5. I was so happy when Mayor Bloomberg

announced that pets were welcome in NYC shelters. I am sure that being able to take pets to the shelters saved lives.

7. So true

Not being allowed to bring pets is a big reason people don't go to shelters.

8. How could a person leave the best friend behind

when danger and possible death would be the result?

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Our dogs are as much a part of our family as our blood relatives.

In some cases, more so.

[yellerpup]

10. Absolutely.

They never try to hurt our feelings and they would never leave US behind.

[Curmudgeoness]

11. Me and Sammy, my cat....both of us go,

or neither of us go. I agree, lessons have been learned.
