Pets of Japan

This morning my son was watching videos on his Ipod...there is never anything on television
so he usually researches things or watches funny videos. He likes to learn..actually he
thrives on it.

Sam studied Japan this year at school. He loved it and learned so much.

This morning he was very sad on the brink of tears. He was watching a video of a dog
who refused to leave another dog that had broken his leg. These two dogs were just
friends.

This got to me being a huge animal lover. It is so horrendous what these people
are going through.. it has even affected their beloved pets. When disasters happen
we don't always realise it is not only the people who suffer but their beloved pets.

We can all relate to the pain
and horror we would feel seeing our pets hurt...
Please not only keep the people of Japan in your prayers but pray for their
beloved pets as well. And if you can make a donation please do..

I am sure the people of Japan will thank you for it.

  2. Please also see my most recent post with a link to Paypal for an organization called ARK, which helps animals in Japan.
    My prayers are with the people and animals of Japan.
    Thanks for posting this. They NEED our help.

  3. Ah yes we easily can forget the pets. This is so devastating, it is getting hard to watch, as the days go on.

    I called you the other day, but you were off to the pool with Sam. Give me a call.

  4. I read (on Facebook, how reliable is that!!) that those 2 dogs were saved...one went to a shelter (that is probably bulging at the seams) and the other dog was taken to a vet..by the camera crew that filmed it. Hope it's true...they really need our help now.

  11. I had to stop watching the Japan Clips because I felt guilty about being home in my bed relaxing while the people of Japan were suffering. Those people as well as animals are in my prayers.

  13. I saw that on the news last night as well, I couldn't even watch it really, as I get so choked up about animal stories. I was so glad to hear that the two dogs were rescued. I am a huge animal lover, too, and will be sure to keep all of those sweet animals in my prayers.

  15. I find it so incredibly sad to think of all those sweet pets suffering and not able to get the help they need. We treated a few pets after hurricane Katrina, and they were not only physically suffering, but also emotionally affected by the trauma. We can't forget them and how important they are to us all!

  16. Oh Pamela! This is such a great cause! I saw that about the dog on TV that was sitting beside and watching over another hurt/injured dog. I was in tears! Of course my heart goes out to the people of Japan, and I wish I had all the money in the world to help them. The injured and hurting pets just tears at my heartstrings and I want to help! Thank you for sharing this!

  21. I saw that very same video and it touched my heart too. Those folks are so amazing - they are truly going through so much and it will take a while to recover. It is a good thing to raise a child to have a tender heart for others! You never know how an event or circumstance will influence our children's hearts to become something or do something important.
    I hope you have a blessed weekend,
    Kathy

  26. What a great post. I always think of the animals in this situation. What has happened in Japan is so awful. I can't imagine having to search for my family through the rubble. Hopefully they can rebuild and won't suffer anything else like this. Rachaelxx
