September 18, 2009
Hello Vanessa,
I just read an article in The Source Weekly called “Emotional Rescue: Saving the Lost Dogs on the streets of Santiago”…

When I arrived in Chillan, Chile the first thing I noticed was the number of street dogs all over the city. One morning I walked around Chillan and in 3 hours I counted 29 loose dogs.

OSCAR SPEECH, WITHOUT THE OSCAR
July 16, 2009
After a 14-hour flight, we arrived in Los Angeles, California – three dogs from Chaiten, three from Rinconada, and one add-on from LAN airlines. What it entailed to bring the dogs here few people will ever understand.

THE CANDIDATES
June 28, 2009
By tomorrow, Monday June 29, I will be on the road, headed for Santiago. There I have nine days to select the dogs to be rescued and brought to the US. Four lucky dogs. If LAN airlines approves another four, it could be eight IF certain offers of adoption or fostering come through. If that piece of the puzzle doesn’t fit, they will have to be left behind. Here are the candidates, in order of their likelihood to be rescued....
