Houston, Texas - This heartbreaking of a stray dog hugging
a teddy bear on socialmedia -- and triggered a bit of controversy.
This is the picture. A sadder-than-sad stray dog who has
found a tiny bit of comfort...by snuggling up to a forsaken teddy bear.
The picture was taken by a Houston woman named Yvette
Holzbach with the group 'Forgotten Dogs of The Fifth Ward'.
When she posted it on her Facebook page, there was
criticism.
Why didn't you rescue the dog?"
This is her explanation: "We can feed up to 50 stray
dogs [daily]. Of those 50 dogs we are lucky if we are able to save one
because...there are not enough foster homes."
"[To] understand what we are faced with we welcome you
to do a ride along with us. You will be astounded at how many homeless dogs
there are."
That is as true in Southern California - as it is in
Houston.
