Dogs of New Orleans, cont'd
Puptastic thanks Texas oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens and his wife, Madeleine for hiring a chartered flight to rescue a couple hundred animals from Louisiana, even if as it turned out,
Louisiana state officials blocked most of the animals rescued from the hurricane from being taken out of state, citing the need to quarantine the animals for 30 days, in case they are ill . . . The quarantine order was canceled later that day.
Jeers, once again, to the government of Louisiana; but cheers to T. Boone and Madeleine for spending, on top of the $5 million dollars T. Boone and his employees donated to the Red Cross, $50 thousand on this animal rescue effort, which helped to evacuate fifty stressed pooches.
