While that's kind of a cute story, I look at the literally 100's of hourse spent total by all those people and think of how much could have been done with them working in a shelter set-up or some other more effiecent method of aiding needy animals.
Not to knock all those people's efforts, but that much time spent on one dog just doesn't seem cost effect when you consider the number of dogs that need help.
And to all those idiots that actively sabotaged the Animal Control efforts to capture the dog ( including breaking a $600 trap left to capture him ) - ya'll are idiots, ok? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

It's a nice story, and I like animals, too. I'm not trying to hijack the thread or pass judgment, just vent some thoughts.
I spent the better part of a 30-yr. career working in the downtown L. A. area, close to "Skid Row." I've encountered a lot of and got to know some homeless people over the years. I don't recall reading many stories about ". . . bankers, mortgage brokers, contractors, walkers, restaurant managers and pet store employees. . ." etc., who brought food or built shelters in bad weather for them. The situation has only gotten considerably worse over the years. It seems a lot of people find it easier to help and will have close contact with an animal in need rather than another person in need. Guess that's why the news features this kind of story now and then along with the dog trapped in the storm drain, cat in the tree, freeing a beached whale, etc.
