The city of Berlin in Germany opened a soup kitchen for the dogs of homeless and impoverished residents.
It warms my heart that people not only realize that the recession effects households' ability to feed their pets, but that they are doing something about it.
Local food pantries around me have begun to collect pet food in addition to people food.
In other animal news, President Elect Barack Obama has said that his family is looking to adopt a dog. They will get one from a shelter, not a pet store or breeder. I love this guy.

Plus with the news of the greyhound racing ban, it's a good time to be a pooch!
Actually, I was disappointed to read this morning that dogs from Mass tracks will just be moved to tracks in other states. I naively thought it meant they were all going to be adopted into happy homes and have great lives. :(
