French news

I was just watching the news on one of the French channels. They showed the latest news on New Orleans for about minute. Following the brief update, there was a long segment on what is happening to all the animals that have been rescued. They showed an animal shelter of some sort and the people who have been caring for the animals. It was a very touching story but I had to laugh.... in a country where you can't walk around the block without "watching your step", it is no wonder that the news of the day was about what happened to all those lost dogs!
