SFTH Congratulates the Mayor's Alliance
If "the Greatness of a
Nation and its moral progress
can be measured by the way
its animals are treated" as
Ghandi once said, Gotham is
well on the way to helping up
America's moral ante, thanks

Letters from Home
Hi SFTH,
I just wanted to let you know that we've now had Dudley for 6 months and he's adjusted wonderfully. He's perfectly housetrained, a good watch dog, and loves to play outside. He also is a quick learner and a very smart fellow. He understands a lot of words and

Tyler and Theresa's Tail
Getting a second chance at life is a
daily gamble for millions of homeless

On Saturday, September 28th, Stray from the Heart participated in the Great American Mutt Show in Central Park. Rich was helping out with Justin, a just- rescued Justin - Now Buddy of Fire Engine 74Dalmatian, when he thought of a great opportunity for him to find a home: at a fireman's street fair taking place in Greenwich Village the very next day...
The Dance of Life . . . and Death
An column on grieving... by Marilyn Dalrymple
"I have inside me the winds, the deserts, the oceans, the stars, and everything created in the universe. We were all made by the same hand, and we have the same soul."

Where Do We Get All the Dogs?
by Christine Martin
That's a question I'm often asked concerning our dogs at Stray from the Heart, and for good reason. In Manhattan, you seldom see Strays on the street. But in the South Bronx, certain areas in Queens or Brooklyn, they're all around, running loose, tied up in empty lots or garages, chained to posts or fenced in without food, shelter or care. Many are taunted, beaten, shot at, cut, burned, or just dragged around on a leash...
