Carmel, a puppy rescued in California, grew into an intelligent and beautiful companion. When he died of cancer he was irreplaceable, then along came Zina.

Too many dogs and cats — needing to be adopted — face euthanization.
It was the kind of October day that we always remember: crisp air and vivid leaves. It was also the day when I had to say good-bye to Carmel, my canine companion of 10 years. He died of cancer. Carmel was my joy and he made me laugh and I expected at least five more years of fun. Dogs ask only that we love them and just as they begin to truly understand our language, they are gone. It is terribly unfair.
