    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 in part to the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals....

    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 really knows what we mean when we say them. It only took me a few minutes to teach him how to lie down and roll over! He is very much loved by all, and he in turn loves us and is very affectionate to everyone....

    Tyler and Theresa's Tail
    Getting a second chance at life is a daily gamble for millions of homeless dogs, but the odds are longest for dogs with behavior problems stemming from abuse and neglect. Most shelters simply don't have the resources to rehabilitate emotionally damaged dogs at the expense of readily adoptable animals, and most adopters aren't looking to take on a dog that requires a lot of extra work....

    Fire Engine 74 Gets a "Buddy"
    At Stray from the Heart, our best volunteers are self starters, willing to jump in, take the ball and run with it. Recently, it was that kind of dedication that led to an amazing day for our charity, thanks to the efforts of our volunteer Rich Lindi.
    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." (The Alchemist, A Fable about Following Your Dream, Paulo Coelho)

    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.
