> Dear Mrs. R,
> 
> The Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia were a time of celebration for the 
> world, but behind the cameras, agents of an extermination company were 
> “cleaning up” Sochi by killing any street dog who crossed their path. A 
> mother, her puppies, and two others were in that population -- that is, until 
> their paths crossed with someone else -- their rescuers: silver medalist, Gus 
> Kenworthy, and friend, Robin Macdonald.
> 
> Today, the lucky dogs -- now known as Mama and Jake, along with Stryder and 
> Mishka -- are with Gus and Robin in new homes in the United States. Humane 
> Society International is thrilled to have helped reunite them.
> 
> Watch this very special, heart-melting slideshow of the new family and make a 
> gift – of any amount – to help street dogs around the world.
> 
> This happy but unusual story began last year when HSI offered to help the 
> Sochi government implement an effective and humane solution to its street dog 
> overpopulation. We also urged the International Olympic Committee to require 
> Sochi to live up to Olympic city standards. We received no response from 
> either appeal.
> 
> Now, more than ever, after the killing of thousands of street dogs in Sochi, 
> our offer still stands, as it does around the world. Every day, HSI works to 
> provide a better life for street dogs, and we remain committed to working 
> with governments to establish spay/neuter and vaccination programs that are 
> proven -- and humane.
> 
> Mama, Jake, Stryder, and Mishka found a most unexpected gift in Gus and 
> Robin, and the pups will always serve as ambassadors for street dogs 
> everywhere. View our heartwarming slideshow, and then, in their honor, make a 
> special gift to support our work to make a better life for street dogs 
> everywhere.
> 
> Thank you for all you do for animals.
