'Luvy' was literally rescued off the streets, malnorished and pregnant. At St. Louis' "Stray Rescue" she now has her own apartment, healing and raising her puppies in safety and affection, all open for adoption at this "no kill" organization. Working with these dogs, there is a sure link amongst human and animal behavior. The unmet needs of both humans and animals must both be addressed to resolve the extreme attempts made to "meet" needs of attention or care. The reporting was well done in noting the reponsibility of the dogs' owner, yet indicating that although inappropriate, the hope was for love for the dogs. Why were there not any family nor friends that knew of this circumstance, that anyone was caring for her own well being in that environment? Rehabilitation with rescued dogs maybe like personal and social healings needed by people that have been vicitimized by crime or perstonally traumtized, trust is difficult to regain, time and human care for people and animals perhaps the only lasting healing to such ills. Might many agree that intuitively we know, with the animals, that we truly are linked?
