The Super Dome wouldn't allow them; nor would motels. Reluctantly, pet owners like Malvin and Jessie and Gloria were obliged to leave their beloved Bandit and JJ (Jessie Junior) and Murphy Brown behind. When owners were unable to return home, hundreds of volunteers swooped in to save the tens of thousands of trapped animals. The volunteers' courage and self-sacrifice were honorable. But how were they to reunite thousands of displaced owners and their pets when so many were scattered across the country? And what if the pets' adoptive owners proved unwilling to return them to their original owners? At once heartbreaking and hopeful, MINE explores this thorny and highly emotional issue, evoking the persistent struggle of Katrina victims and their still-shattered city for resolution.
