I was browsing around the Internet today and found a story that broke my heart.  It was a story from last week, on Thursday June 12, 2008, about how a man was putting his little dog into his car and a street sweeping machine came up behind them and swept the dog up inside the machine and killed the poor little thing!  The “authority” in charge of street sweepers said that they “offer condolences” but made no offer to buy a replacement dog.  I think that the LEAST they can do is buy a replacement dog, for crying out loud!  If you want to see the story, click here.
