Once you look into an animals eyes youre connected to them, Burstyn says. Shes perched on a chair in the Bancroft This Week office with her dog Lily doing tricks at her feet and a new rescue, Lily 2, cuddling on her lap.
This latest dog, a Bichon Frise and poodle mix that was surrendered for being a bad breeder is being cared for in true Home Again style.
The 2-year-old dog will be visiting with groomer Dista Gougen at Critter Comfort and Clips and will be spayed before being placed with a new family. Burstyn says she hopes the little white dog will end up with an older person and maybe even someone who travels south in the winter. Lily 2 is not used to the cold weather and is dressed in a bright sweater for the trip in to the newspaper office. Shes a calm, relaxed lap dog that like so many rescue animals, is making up for lost cuddle time.
Each of these animals is a soul, Burstyn says of the animals in the calenda
