The Animal House: November 7, 2009
Saving Cinnamon
Mark Feffer was a Navy reservist serving in Afghanistan when he fell in love with a stray puppy named Cinnamon. He arranged to adopt the dog and have it sent to the United States -- only to find that the handler charged with transporting her had abandoned Cinnamon at an airport in Kyrgyzstan. We learn more about his story and the growing number of pets being adopted by service men and women overseas.

We'll discuss some of that evidence -- and what it says about our relationships with other animals.
