I'm tearing up here, wil

Maybe it's because I finally have been able to get my own animal companions after years without, but this jumped out at me from an article on the Superdome evacuations:

Pets were not allowed on the bus, and when a police officer confiscated a little boy's dog, the child cried until he vomited. "Snowball, snowball," he cried.

UPDATE: A happy ending?
