Dogs survive Katrina and Haiti!

A dachshund and dachshund/ lab mix, Deiter and Bella have been through it all. They were originally abandoned in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina ripped through the south and now these 2 pups have survived the earthquake of Haiti. Owner Paul Fowler and Christine Duchatellier Fowler were flown out of Haiti after the earthquake took place and were forced to leave their beloved dogs behind. Paul and Christine were heartbroken when they had to leave
Deiter and Bella behind after they had already been through Katrina. Once they had returned to the states they contacted the Humane Society which was finally allowed into Haiti this past weekend. The Humane Society gave the couple their word they would do their best to reunite the Fowlers with their dogs. After all their efforts the dogs are to arrive home next week to reunite with their family!
