Where is Snowball?

American's poured their hearts out to find this tiny dog and re-united this family

Just in,AP reporter Mary Foster states; "after the bus left Snowball was taken to and locked in a stair well in a Shopping Center by the Superdome!. She saw Snowball their a few times, one time the ASPCA was their to pick up animals and Snowball was gone! "

I just called her, and she was too busy to talk with me! she put the phone down.

So was this poor Snowball ?a day later? this photo was taken on a Nikon 9/3 at 7.33pm dirty tired and hungry thirsty. So Snowball was NOT placed in a stairwell but was wandering the streets alone . The MYSTERY DEEPENS is SNOWBALL REALLY SNOWBALL ? read here

Whomever took these photos ? they must come forward...this dog could belong to an old lady and its name is NOT SNOWBALL click link below....

Thanks for all the work you are doing to keep this issue alive and serve as a lifeline...it's all the more important as a means of honoring those that were not saved in time or at all... We are the animals voice....to be silent equals complacency.

New picture just in, could this be the dog ?

A single paw on the wheel as the bus pulls away. Huge pieces of America have been obliterated in the last four years, the bus has left, and it's too bad we don't give dogs the vote. By Paul Ford

I can't forget Snowball. I know there are so many abandoned animals, and Snowball represents all of them to me. In that single moment, when he was not allowed to be saved, we all became so much less human to me. How did we even allow that to happen? How can we ever recover our humanity after that? I don't know. Snowball appears to have vanished and we are faced with the stark reality that, once the moment passed and the opportunity to step up to the plate was gone, we can never regain that opportunity. For Snowball's sake and in his memory, if you ever see an animal in need, don't hesitate. Don't think about the "rules" -- just do what needs to be done. B. Thompson

See the DOG LADY LINK story on snowball The Snowball story got wide media attention and caused a significant change in the evacuation policy. Eventually, people were allowed to take out their pets. Even if Snowball is gone forever, the dog's legacy does not melt away.

These photos appear to show evacuations from the I-10 causeway near the
Convention Center. The little boy who survived 5 days of the Hell Hole once known as the Superdome with the last connection he had with his former life,
his little dog, only to have this dog torn from his arms as he was
loaded on a bus to Houston. His distress – on film – was such that
he vomited.

Billie Sue Bruce. $500 founder http://www.savejustone.com/ I had nightmares last night after reading about a tiny white Poodle being torn from a little boy's arms because it was not allowed to get on a rescue bus. This dog may end up in a shelter, rescue group, or found by an individual. If this dog can be returned to the little boy and confirmed, I will donate $500 to the reward. Billie Sue Bruce . Jean Jones founder http://www.Puppymillrescue.com and this website also contributed. $500

"Snowball! Snowball!" the boy cried until he vomited. The policeman told a reporter he didn't know what would happen to the dog.

The fate of pets is a huge but underappreciated cause of anguish for storm survivors, said Richard Garfield, professor of international clinical nursing at New York's Columbia University.

"People in shelters are worried about 'Did Fluffy get out?'" he said. "It's very distressing for people, wondering if their pets are isolated or starving."
