Another Way To Help:   Allowing dogs to accompany families:  I just wrote this letter to my local California senator and hope this change will soon take place. We must stop allowing government to separate our animals from our families, not only for humanitarian reasons but for a reason I hope will have more credence with the "politicos": XXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Senator Feinstein, I write to ask you to use your influence on an issue that is ever so much more important than it may seem to some.  Please, please encourage those currently working in the rescue efforts following Hurricane Katrina to allow a family's pets to accompany their people onto the official rescue vehicles.

I will not list all the humanitarian reasons since I have no doubt you can recite them all. But please consider, too, and do what you can to help others understand, that in this day of reaction rather than considered response, to allow a child to keep his pet close to him rather than have it wrenched from his very hands would do much to build a strong and caring citizenry. I am afraid if current policies continue we will inadvertently be creating a mindset of revenge against the government in those children and families.  Thank you.  Barbara Ellen bxe48@aol.com   Walnut Creek, CA
