Emergency Pet Evacuation Drill Brings Dogs and Cats Together
You can’t call Doggy Dundee prompt when it comes to film developing!
In late April 2009, Chase and I were one of many volunteers who participated in the major Jackson County Earthquake Drill – the part testing the animal shelter registration procedure for dogs who would be evacuated with their owners who were staying at an attached fictitious Red Cross shelter.
One brave pet evacuation volunteer brought her cat who she said loved dogs and would have dogs eating out of her paw. Chase and I finally got our personal photos developed of the animal shelter pet evacuation event, and
Chase meets Siamese
as you can see Chase was quite curious and awed by this Siamese. This is the first time Chase has ever gotten this close to a kitty. It didn’t matter which dog came forward, either, all the dogs got along with the cat, who would sometimes roll over and start playing with these strange dogs, several of whom were strays from the shelter. It was quite an event for all the dogs and cats – and volunteers!
