Writes a friend:

You know Lew, when I saw this story (which is said to have started out with a car bomb), several observations came to mind:

1. This did NOT happen in America. Firemen here would not have let Amanda retrieve her pups. Firemen in America demand center stage and total obedience from their tax victims.

2. This mother of pups is a better mother than many, many humans in America; she protected her pups on how many levels? She demanded to be with her (dying) girl pup. She feared being separated from her pups.

If only American mothers would defend their babes this well.
