On Oprah today, they went to the states hit by the Katrina. Nate (I think his last name is Ferguson) interviewed these 2 men who were awaiting their turn to board the helicopter to be evacuated. The one man was sobbing because they told him his dog would have to stay behind. This man just kept hugging his dog and crying. The dog was 14 years old, and he'd had him since he was a pup. The other man told Nate that the dog and his owner had saved his life and he exclaimed "We will NOT leave without the dog". Nate was moved to tears and told the man that he would take his dog for him, until he could be reunited. The dog's owner then crushed Nate in the biggest hug and sobbed in gratitude. I don't think I've ever seen anything as moving. There are still good people in the world, after all.
