This is not about the poor dog, it is response to moondog and how much I agree with taking action.I was always a person of deep sympathy but never one to take action, until our wonderful, sweet UPS driver was killed in a random shooting by some repeat drug offender. On Long Island , this jerk stood on the cross Island parkway and fired at red cars.Todd Upton the ups driver was returning home with his wife from dropping their oldest at college. His wife was driving so he could take a break and that was the end of his life. My first reaction was wow, I hope some one does something for the family. I hope the community raises money for them,and then I had this great bolt of reality. What if no one does anything, what if every one is saying the same thing. I was so angry and disgusted with humanity that this could happen to such a great person, I for the first time got off my you know what and got in touch with some great people. We organized a benefit, went door to door for donations and prizes to raffel off. We got food donations etc. Seems every one really wanted to do something . As moondog said, we found our voice and came together as a community to support and raise a great deal of money for his family. I did feel better by putting my rage to work. Thanks moondog,I don't think I realized how passionate I was about finding a voice until I read your response.
