Speaking of trains, pets and trespassing on railroad property. I,m a volunteer at the Dearborn Animal Shelter and one day I got a phone call (pre 9/11/01) about a dog in a box car. That didn't seem odd since I had recently seen a news story and video of kids hopping freights and the video showed one guy with his dog. Anyway, the animal controll officers we off duty at the time, so I went to investigate. I found the string of box cars in question but all their doors were closed. Now I know better than to open up box car doors so the only thing I could do was to throw rocks at the box cars and hope, if there was a dog inside and still alive, it would bark. No luck. They must have heard the sound of a dog barking nearby, bouncing off the sides of the cars. I hope. Here I was throwing rocks at a train, close enough to be trespasing on railroad property (multi track). Had I done this today, I'd probably be arrested in a hart beat and maybe put in the psyco ward. Ed or anyone reading this, if you happen to rescue any more animals and don't have room for them, look up www.petfinder.org and use their search for an animal rescue group or shelter near you. It's an alternitive to dropping them off at a typical pound that only holds animals for a short period of time before destroying them. From our experience, we're having great success adopting out pets by linking our site with petfinder. If it wasn't for my old cat, I probably would have lost my job for being late too many times. Every day she makes sure I don't oversleep. And it's not about food. Her food dish is always full so she can eat anytime. G.setter
