The Bush Administration would want to cut this baby off from Medicaid
Posted by Jill | 12:31 PM

Yeah, sure, the title of this post is a cheap shot, but hell, we're living in a country in which the Texas state legislature wants to jail parents who want their underage daughters to have abortions and where the Swift Boat Liars' lies were regarded by the MSM as "just another viewpoint." So all's fair in love, war, and politics.

Even when the story isn't about politics, but about how much more heart many animals have than most Republicans. I just love stories like this:

A nursing dog foraging for food retrieved an abandoned baby girl in a forest in Kenya and carried the infant to its litter of puppies, witnesses said Monday.

The stray dog carried the infant across a busy road and a barbed wire fence in a poor neighborhood near the Ngong Forests in the capital, Nairobi, Stephen Thoya told the independent Daily Nation newspaper.

The dog apparently found the baby Friday in the plastic bag in which the infant had been abandoned, said Aggrey Mwalimu, owner of the compound where the animal is now living. It was unclear how the baby survived in the bag without suffocating.

Doctors said the baby had been abandoned about two days before the dog discovered her. Medical workers later found maggots in the infant's umbilical cord, a product of days of neglect, Hannah Gakuo, the spokeswoman of the Kenyatta National Hospital, where the girl was taken for treatment, said Monday. No one has yet claimed the baby, she said.

But the 3.3 kilogram (7.28 pounds) infant "is doing well, responding to treatment, she is stable ... she is on antibiotics," Gakuo told The Associated Press. Workers at the hospital are calling the child Angel, she said.



Who says dogs don't have souls?

Mom, don't you dare even THINK about it.
