He is the recipient of the HSUS "Circle of Compassion" Award! Both Dr. Roba and Efrem Legese (HAPS) were also presented with the "Gandhi Peace Award" (created by Society of PEACE advisory board members Janice Blue and Melanie Blake) back in November, for being , as Gandhi once said -- "the change you wish to see in the world". They were recognized for "promoting peace and compassion for all beings" through their efforts to rescue the Ethiopian Cave Dogs and bringing worldwide attention to the plight of animals in a country with virtually no animal protection laws.

Congratulations to Dr. Roba! ~Kristen http://www.beloblog.com:80/KHOU_Animal_Attraction/archives/2008/01/circle_of_compa.html January 24, 2008 Circle of Compassion Houston Doctor Honored with The Humane Society of the United States' Circle of Compassion Award The Humane Society of the United States is pleased to announce that Dr. Anteneh Roba has been presented with a Circle of Compassion Award, which

recognizes individuals who have performed an act of significant courage or compassion to assist an animal in need. In an effort to help animals in his native Ethiopia, Dr. Roba, a Houston emergency room physician, generously funded the rescue of the last four dogs trapped in Gido Washa cave, a pit that for years was used by locals to dump unwanted animals. Though the Homeless Animal Protection Society (HAPS) in Addis Ababa tried to place the four animals in Ethiopia, no adopters came forward. So, Dr. Roba paid to transport the dogs to Houston where they could find new homes. The cave has since been sealed, and now Dr. Roba is trying to address the root cause of the tragedies at Gido Washa by raising money for HAPS to spay and neuter

pets. Congratulations Dr. Roba and thank you for your kindness and compassion! "Peace, Compassion & Ahimsa for ALL Living Beings"www.societyofpeace.org Kristen ___________ "You
