Exactly! Jane is right, we will do both. Of course human lives are important. For some of those humans their lives with their own beloved animal is also important. I know for myself life without a dog to complete the unit would make it even more difficult. Our animals help us cope, they give us hope when things are tough. They give us one more reason to keep on going to make the best of what has been handed us. They give us some solace as we face the difficulties. Can you imagine the joy for these people when they themselves have been taken care of adequately and then to find their beloved animal companions as well? We know that as each day passes, the likelihood of that happening is less and less. However in my opinion we wouldn't be the people our forefathers hoped us to be if we ignored ANY worthy cause. WE AMERICAN'S will keep on, as one nation dedicated to turning the bad into the good,with humility, charity,support, courage....all that it takes.
