If you don't get teary-eyed over this, there is something wrong with you-

Someone emailed this to me but to acccess it from here, go to http://www.myspace.com/coalitionforanimaljustice; scroll down to the fourth shining star on the left (you'll see what I mean) and there is a story about Ralphie the dog. Even if it is doctored a bit, it is feasible. A caveat, however: there is a lot of graphic stuff (even written) on the site about abused animals, so keep your eyes left if you haven't the stomach for that.
