Volunteering and animal rescue impacts people and communities | Laura Gonzo | TEDxGreensboro

Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans with disastrous effects on people and families. Less known is the impact on family pets. This video documents efforts to save these pets.
Laura is an active volunteer for animal rescue -- an involvement since 2001. She works with the National Canine Rescue Foundation. Professionally she is a radio licensing and syndication professional with Dick Broadcasting.

May I remind?
Are we our 'pets' 'owners' and 'masters'? No! Rather we are their 'Guardians' and 'Custodians'. They are our Co-Inhabitants on Earth to be revered as our:-
'Friends' - 'Comrades' - 'Collaborators - 'Helpmates' - 'Companions of men' - 'Healers' - 'Teachers' - 'Brothers' and our 'Kith and Kin'.
'I believe animals should be respected as Citizens of this Earth. They should have the Right to their own Freedom, to their own Families and to their own Life.'

Glenn Greenwald and his partner have that disease - the need to help a dog they spot.

I'm very good at picking out people who love to hear themselves speak and this is her. They tend to over exaggerate to the point of lies.

[@TheHappyHen]

I know Laura personally. You know nothing. The words she speaks are true. We have volunteered for Greensboro, NC's Merit Pit Bull Foundation together almost four years. She's the real deal. You are nothing.
