As I was looking for the dog yesterday, I noticed this amazing sunset, so I stopped and snapped this shot.
It took another 6 hours until I completed that mission (successfully)

Sometimes it seems like these streetdogs are quite intelligent. Be it for knowing where to get some food or how to keep warm - like these guys. Sleeping together certainly helps, adding a layer of cardboard as insolation most likely, too.

I am so happy I got to meet Paige, Jasmine and their moms - Lauren and CJ.
I wanted to share a couple of links you will definitely enjoy - keep in mind, Laura and CJ are NOT dog trainers. Prepare to have your mind be blown away:
First, Paige's You Tube channel
Second: Jasmine's You Tube channel
What do you think?

It's just amazing to see how such a small dog touched the hearts of so many people.
I am amazed that our friends traveled from Canada, California, Arizona, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and from all over New York to come and meet Fiona. It was so interesting to see how hugging Fiona was therapeutic and comforting to so many.
Don't forget to set your DVR's and record the Anderson Cooper Show on Monday (May 7th). Make sure to check Anderson Cooper's website and find out when it airs in your city.
We will post the whole interview on our website: www.hopeforpaws.org as soon as it becomes available + a few special photos from the Anderson Cooper set.
Fiona is heading back to California, but we will be in New York for a few more days. The weather forecast shows we'll have another beautiful day here in NYC, so tomorrow (Sunday, May 6th.) at 12:30 p.m I'll grab a salad from Whole Foods (Time Warner's building), and sit at the same place where we sat with Fiona in the last couple of days (south west corner of central park - just inside the Columbus Circle entrance). If anyone would like to join me - I would love that.
Oh, and don't forget to bring your dogs :-)

This is the Kusadasi I know so well : donershops,(here fishsnackbars as it is close to the fishmarket) teadrinking men and everywhere straydogs.
A glimmer of hope... for all stray dogs in Poland!
Quite possibly you know that I have adopted three stray dogs, the last one, Chester, one year ago.
He was a badly traumatised problem dog, in poor health, aggressive against the other dogs...a whole year I tried to rehabilitate him... without success... I decided to look for another optimal home... and was helped by the Dobermann-Nothilfe e.V... they wanted him to have a checkup once again... the vet diagnosed a broken tooth, nerve bruises, three bullets in his body... a watch dog, bitten through his chain... now there is a glimmer of hope that he can stay in my pack...
as a little thank-you I started a project on a social internet portal...
would be great if you could register with charitystar and vote for my project!

Matías and Efigenio take care of cars that park around Asuncion´s Harbor. They told me they have been doing that for the last 20 years. They live on the street. The day I took their portrait they were drunk and ate pigs heads for lunch. The bones were left for the many stray dogs of the area
I thought it was so symbolic that the Love Never Fails Minustries were right where we got Daisy (you can see it on the video as I drive in to the area).

Some spend the night waiting in line, just to be the first, when the ticket counter opens.

We never do stuff like this because life is so unpredictable here, and we never know when the next emergency will come up.
When Audrey had her birthday a couple of years ago, she planned a nice dinner with a bunch of friends, and of course I was called to a rescue 5 minutes before we started.
Three hours later I came back to the party... covered with blood from a dog who was hit by a car (just so everybody understand the urgency and why I had to leave). I just said HI to everybody, and went home to take a shower (and by then the party was of course over).
I really hope nothing like this will happen next Tuesday, August 14th between 6 P.M and 9 P.M :-)

My little brother (Ohad), sent me this picture for my birthday - 6/12/12 (it took me a month to open his email... this is how behind I am with my emails).
His daughters are so cute and funny, and I hope I will get to see them again soon.

A mom and 3 kittens are about to be taken to the shelter here in Los Angeles by a landlord who has ZERO compassion for animals.
I really need a temporary place for them. The mom will be adopted by my friend Kirrily as soon as the kittens are weened, and then it should be easy to find these beauties a home. I will post pictures, a video, and I will take care of the rest - shots, spay/neuter and a microchip.
If you can help, please let me know ASAP.
Thanks,

I just wanted to thank Jamie Downey who recommended our book as a gift for the holidays.
Please support the American Dog Magazine as they support and tell the stories so many rescue organizations all over the U.S.
You can find the magazine at Barnes and Noble & Borders, so please pick up a copy today during your lunch break.

Two days ago we went back to the desert... Taylor, Jason, Renee and myself.
I'll let the video will tell the story:

In the picture, Muñeca, a 10 year old Rottweiler who suffers from final stage lymphoma.
Please support Hope For Paws and help us pay for the huge vet bill that is coming our way. We will need to get all these animals fixed, get them all their shots & microchips.
All I am asking for is for every person who sees this video to spend $9.95 and in return get our book: "Our Lives Have Gone To The Dogs": www.hopeforpaws.org/book.htm
(Shipping is FREE)
Thank you so much,

I went to the desert two days ago with a group of friends to rescue a group of stray dogs.
Later on in the day we met this person who breeds wolf-hybrids. She had a baby wolf who was suffering from hypothermia and would not eat. She gave us the baby and asked us to help him.
We took him to the vet right away, gave him fluids, food and helped him keep warm.
The volunteer that kept him overnight (Taylor) named him Wolfgang-Hunter.
In the morning we went to the vet again, and then I took him home.
Wolfgang gave a really good fight for 24 hours, but it was just not enough and he died yesterday :-(
Such an amazing little creature... R.I.P.

Lulu (now called Piggy) was adopted from Hope For Paws by Hayley & Adam a few months ago, and this morning I got this photo update after they adopted Puck from The Bill Foundation.
I am so happy for this family :-)
Please copy the link to the video, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. There are so many stray dogs that get hit by a cars, and they end up dragging a horribly painful injuries. These animals really need help, and they count on us to do everything in our power to help.
Thanks,

This rescue story brings different emotions. It stated with sadness and anger, and continued with happiness. Please make sure to read until the end, and leave me a comment below if you would want to see the video of their rescue.
Last night, 10 P.M, I got an email that was forwarded to me from The Bill Foundation. The email told the story about a mom (Gaia) with a broken leg who was abandoned in the middle of nowhere three months ago, and it also tells the story of the three babies she gave birth to around the same time she was dumped.
For three month, two women fed them daily, brought them fresh water, but couldn't capture the mom, so they didn't attempt to capture the babies. Sadly, they didn't know where to turn for help.
After reading the email I called the Bill Foundation right away to see how we can make it work. I promised Hope For Paws would help with the mom's medical bill, and in 2 minutes it was agreed that I will leave towards Central California at 3:00 A.M so I can make it there before sunrise.
I couldn't fall asleep... I just wanted it to be morning already. At 3:00 A.M I started the drive up north.
When I arrived at the location, I spotted the puppies right away, but I couldn't find the mom. I went to check on the pups, gave them some food to make an initial contact with them, and kept watching my back to make sure the mom doesn't come behind me to defend her puppies.
Minutes later, a yellow truck stopped next to me. A really nice man was asking what I was doing, and I told him I came all the way from Los Angeles to rescue this family.
He told me that the mom died two hours ago, about a mile to the west.
He said someone hit her and ran. He arrived there shortly after it happened, pulled over, and saw her as she was dying. He decided to rush home, get his gun, and take her out of her misery - realizing her injuries were fatal.
When he got back with his gun, she was already dead.
I wanted to check it right away... I wanted to make sure she was not breathing anymore. I was sad that she was dead, and I was angry that someone would dump an animal in the middle of nowhere and not care what would happen to her. If this man didn't show up today, I would have never known she was dead (she was pretty far from the pups), and I would still be there waiting for her to come back.
I then returned to the puppies, so I can at least save them before they would get hit by a car. I drew a skech (below) showing how I got each puppy as this was one of the most challenging situations I ever faced, and it required special, never used before improvisation.
The pups were hiding in a storm drain that could fit them, but couldn't even fit a small child.
Puppy #1 - Sydney (the pup in the middle): I threw food around the entrance hole. As you can see, I was positioned above them, so they couldn't see me, and as soon as Sydney was out, I grabbed her. She screamed for her life, and really scared the other two puppies who now refused to come out for food or water.
Puppy #2 - Matilda (the pup to the right): After two hours of waiting patiently for them to relax from the trauma of their sister screaming, they wouldn't come out. Their mom taught them really well, that when they sense danger, they should hide, and so they did. I decided to do something I have never done before, and it was to use the mom's body to get them out. I drove with Sydney to pick up the body.
I placed her near the entry hole, and waited quietly above.
Matilda was so happy to see her mother... she ran out wagging her tail, and in a second I grabbed her too. The mom, even though she was dead, helped me save her baby, and I hope she saw it from above and appreciated the love her baby felt for her.
Puppy #3 - Gabriella (the pup to the left): This little girl is smart, and she knew her mom was not alive anymore. I have tried everything... I tied ropes to the mom's limbs just to make her move and make the puppy believe she was alive, but that didn't work. I placed the mom in different positions, and that didn't work either.
The well was full with debris, so I started clearing it out using a rope with a loop... my plan was to drop a trap to the bottom, and then lift her up once she is captured. After I was done, I realized, it's not happening as the well was too narrow.
I tried speaking to Gabriella, but she wouldn't listen to me. I was at a desperate point... it was 100 degrees outside, I forgot to bring drinking water for myself, and I didn't have the equipment to get her out. I was also alone, and so it made everything more difficult.
I walked to my car to see if there is anything there I could use, and then a brilliant idea came to me. Last year I bought a net gun (that turned to be a useless piece of equipment as far as net shooting / dog capturing). However, I knew the one thing this device can do is to produce a really loud sound of explosion (produced by pressurized air).
The idea was to fire a few times into the well, create a scary noise, have her run out of the pipe, and then capture her as she runs away. I fired the first round and she cried. I fired another one, and another one, and then a really nice man showed up. He was working in the area, and I was telling him about my plan. We discussed other options (like having him hold the rope as I will go down the well). I fired a few more rounds of presurized air, and all of a sudden she started running... she got out of the storm drain, and ran into - A DIFFERENT PIPE!!!
I knew this one would be easier... I asked the guy to go to the far end, and scream into the pipe. He yelled, banged on the pipe, and Gabriella crawled away from him. She then saw me, and stopped. I looked into her eyes, then reached into the tube with my arm, allowed her sniff me for a second, then I grabbed her leg and pulled her out.
I placed her with her sisters, and I was so happy to have all of them.
I looked over at the mom, and decided to leave her where she had given birth to these beautiful babies three months ago. She was an amazing mother, she loved her babies, and it just broke my heart to know that I this email was sent to me 24 hours too late :-(
I didn't bury her because I knew that her body can be consumed by other animals who are struggling out there... coyotes, voltures and other hungry creatures. This is the last gift Gaia can give to others... this is natures recycling system, and it's what keeps the cycle of life going.
The puppies and I started the long journey back to Southern California.
The vet is happy with their overall condition, and they are running some tests to make sure everyhing is OK internally (parasites, worms, etc).
Thank you so much for all your support,
Eldad

We have made it safely, took Abby & Sara to their amazing new home, and we finally made it to the hotel.
I am going to take a quick shower, and then I'll go down to the coffee shop downstairs to get some work done. It is a very short notice, but if anyone would like to join me (I have to check with Linzi if she is up for it), then please do.
The hotel is the Courtyard Marriott
One Thornton Court,
99 Street and Jasper Avenue

We can also do this tomorrow night or during the day... you guys tell me - I have no plans for tomorrow.

Two weeks ago she was so close to being a dead dog on the side of the road, but look at her today at her new home... just amazing!
Here is the video of her rescue: www.youtube.com/eldad75
Enjoy :-)

Snapped near the downtown produce market. The raised head and open eyes of the pooch at right qualifies as a major dog-to-human reaction by local standards, and I wouldn't have gotten it if I hadn't been squatting close by with my camera. His pal is obviously too busy dreaming of loves and dog biscuits lost to pay any attention to me.
Expect to see many, many strays in Santiago and Valparaiso.
