Down and Out in Canine Heaven
From REUTERS:
A soup kitchen exclusively for dogs has opened its doors in Berlin providing pets of the homeless and unemployed with a free meal.
Despite the looming financial crisis, director Claudia Hollm dismissed criticism that it may be more sensible to collect money for humans than for dogs.
"Nowadays people underestimate dogs. They are incredibly important for those who lack social contact with other humans," Hollm told Reuters.
"Making sure dogs don't go hungry is just as important as making sure that people don't starve," she added.
One woman who uses the free service said she had two dogs, four cats, a rabbit and some guinea pigs.
"Without this animal bread line, I'd probably starve to death," the 20-year old said.
Toatie & Peanut are thanking their lucky stars!
I'm not opposed to that at all , animal friends can give us so much . .
In the unlikely event of the looming recession becoming an unprecedentedly savage depression , Toastie and Peanut and others better swim to Germany !
