She's Not Like Other Dogs
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried through Sarah McLachlan crooning "In the Arms of an Angel" while images of shivering puppies and dirty kittens pepper the screen. These animals did nothing to deserve the pain that they lived through and I am so thankful that there are organizations and volunteers dedicated to rescuing them.
