    Best Friends Animal Sanctuary rescue story: photographer and former marine Clay Myers rescued an aging, bald, emaciated 7-pound poodle from the St. Bernard Parish in New Orleans on Tuesday, he was nearly overcome by the enormity of the event. One more life had been saved, and he was the one who'd done it. The poodle was dehydrated and crashing when volunteer vet tech Sue Thomas followed Clay and the poodle to the back of a rescue van and gave her fluids subcutaneously. "This is why I'm here," said Sue, who arrived a day earlier at the Best Friends hurricane relief center in Tylertown with the Ashtabula (Ohio) Animal Protective League. The rescue team knew that dogs and cats like this poodle had been without food or fresh water for 20 days. Deep down, we never expected to see an old poodle survive the watery muck. Rescuers had not even been permitted to go into that section of town until the day before. As Clay walked a street with another volunteer, he noticed a small animal darting across a yard. Clay walked over to the poodle as she huddled against a chain-link fence. She put her paws up on the rim of a large planting pot. It was full of toxic sludge. "I wasn't going to let her jump in," Clay said. As he reached down to pick her up, she looked up at him with her big, sad eyes, then let him pick her up and carry her to the waiting van. On the trip back to Tylertown, we wrapped her in towels for the hour-and-a-half drive. She sat on my lap and fell asleep. Today, Thursday, a volunteer group took her into a foster home.
