Saw this on my Facebook news stream and had to post it. First off, Sarah McLachlan no longer is the only Canadian chanteuse who’s cornered the market on saving maimed and abused animals. That little minx Avril Lavigne, or at least her music, is stepping it up, swelling up the water works (and yes, you will cry) for this videolog of an abandoned and blind dog who was found living in a garbage pile in LA. Cue in touchy feely animal rescuers, a flea bath, an OG Asian veterinarian, and some much needed TLC and you’ve just witnessed the story of Fiona. I want to apologize in advance for posting this, but whatever. I’m going to cry myself to sleep now.

I saw this original videa with Avril’s song some weeks ago (on FB) and the tears began halfway through the first verse and watching poor Fiona’s rescue. Hers has had a wonderfully happy end but this song is so appropos to any rescue promotional. As couple living with seventeen of creation’s fur and feather creatures…three quarters of whom are rescues this really brings the plight of abandoned and mistreated animals home.
