Something inevitably touches my heart very deeply when I watch The Ellen Show. Yes, you immediately think The Ellen Show = Funny, but she has a way of giving us all more. I hate to say it but John McCain put it well today while on her show. He said, we want to be entertained and we want to be informed. And Ellen does both. Well said John McCain!!!
Anyhow, Ellen had read about Steve McGarva in People magazine and had him on the show. Steve, an artist, went with his wife to live in Puerto Rico. While going to surf one day he found a beach used by the locals to drop off unwanted dogs. The pictures of the dogs he found were more than overwhelming. Over the last year the McGarva's have used their own money to feed, pay for medical care, take care of and seek homes for the dogs he found. They have set up an organization, www.islanddog.org, and are working with other organizations on the island to help rescue unwanted dogs on the island.
Obviously, this is a huge job and they need help. You can visit their web site, www.islanddog.org to learn more. I also found these links with more information www.change.org/nonprofits/view/141015, and www.projo.com/pets/content/lb-puerto_dogs_05-18-08_GMA4UE3_v33.19266ce.html.
