SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Nation -- Uniting pets, families is an emotional task - the less seen and talked about tragedy of the hurricain is the story of abandoned pets, often locked in aprtments and houses, often drowned or sick from contaminated water or starved and dehydrated. Pet owners often have an enormous emotional attachment to their pets and the trafedy of loss of all their possessions may pale in comparison with the tragedy of loss of their pet. This is especially true in instance of relocation when few familiar things are left to the victims and their pets, those emotional anchors that they have been able to rely on for years, are also gone.
