Fukushima Shelties Are Safe!

Japanese shelties abandoned in the radioactive evacuation zone around the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant have an angel in 56 year old Etsumi Ogino, a volunteer at an animal shelter. Ms. Ogino saw a news photo of these shelties left to fend for themselves when their owner was forced to leave after the disaster. A dedicated Sheltie owner herself, she contacted the photographer for a location and then called a local Sheltie Rescue group who risked their lives to round up most of the shelties and get them to a vet in the Kanegawa prefecture. They were found near Odaka Railway Station, most probably trying to find a train outta there!! (Shelties are SO smart!) Whew!! Sam is very relieved to hear that his brothers are safe. Mao....well, right now she's eating some tuna but I'm sure when she's done she'll be very happy the puppies are safe.

Hooray for Sheltie Rescuers!!
