All About Long Island

There had to be divine intervention for two miracle pups rescued by Little Shelter on Long Island.  Magic and Merlin, three week old mixed breed puppies born with severely cleft palates would have had no chance at survival without the intervention of the caring people at Little Shelter, one of the island’s oldest no kill facilities.

As so often happens when good samaritans hear about the plight of others, there was an outpouring of offers of assistance.  They came from far and wide and included Plastic Surgeons,  Veterinarians and the public at large.  Reported in Newsday, they’re waiting for the dogs to be old enough for the first of multiple surgeries to set them on the path of hopefully long and happy lives.   They will remain in my prayers.
