Prevent a 'repeat' of the above AGONY....
NEVER leave behind your animal in an evacuation.
If it is not safe for you to stay, then it is NOT safe for your animal
to stay!
A disaster is not an excuse to abandon
those for whom we are responsible.
We should always remember that animals ALSO feel pain and experience fear,
and suffer every bit as much as we do. They also die.
PLEASE take your pet and their supplies(food,
leash & etc.) with you in an evacuation.
If it is not safe for you to stay, then it is NOT safe for your animal to
stay!
