[...] Here are photo’s before and after the tsunami, and here are some photos, not only showing the violent streams, but also the consequences. I was especially moved by this photo of what appear to be mother and child. For after all, this natural disaster is mainly a human tragedy. Lets hope many beloved (human and animal) have found or find each other in good health again, like this reunion of a dog owner and his dog. [...]

So heartwarming! I am linking this in my nightly news roundup at theygaveusarepublic.com. How could I not? I am owned by a dog, and I would be worried sick about him if he was missing after a tragedy like that.

thank you so much for reposting Hyde on this page. They (The Humane Society of SW Washington) say I can not volunteer my time as I do not have health insurance. So I try to post dogs from thier shelter on my facebook page to let people know these dogs need someone. If I spent less money on helping dogs in all parts of this country, I could probably afford health insurance :)

Seems like if you signed a waiver they'd let you volunteer.
