In the numerous posts that I have written about Japan in the past few weeks I have spent a lot of time going through pictures and survivor accounts and new reports of what is going on. There is not a single image that I have seen that has effected me in the way this one has.
An image of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel tied up outside of an Evacuation Shelter several days after the Earthquake and Tsunami because no dogs are allowed inside and its owners weren't leaving it behind. There is a water bowl and what looks like a bag of dry food and a soft blanket for the dog to sleep on so this dog is being cared for. It looks like there might even be a blanket on the side of the picture for its owner to sleep on or rest on next to their dog.
It's just thought provoking because it is something I would never do but what if there was no choice? Would I tie the girls up outside and put my blanket down next to them and live on the street because we had no where else to go? Or at least no way to get there in the short term?
I promise Wordless Wednesday pictures of the girls will be back next week.
