Katrina people, Katrina dogs

Tampabay: Family pleads to reclaim pets

St. Pete Times attempts to write a tear jerker of a story about a couple from New Orleans in the area trying to get their dogs back after they were adopted out after Katrina. Only problem is, the kept their dogs outside, they were heartworm positive, the were "treating the heartworm with monthly medication" and they brought their grandkids with them to use as props to create a human interest story.

The good news is, the new owners aren't giving them back and there is nothing the old owners can do. The poll of readers is running 2:1 against giving the dogs back.
