Hurricane Katrina

Do You Recognize The White Dog?
12/26/06, Anyone with tips or clues about this white dog from Tylertown or elsewhere, contact: Jane Morgan06  ~  We believe this photo may have been taken at Best Friends in Tylertown, MS in September 2005. The white dog in the photo resembles Milo, an 8-year old male jack russell terrier lost from St. Bernard Parish during Katrina. Frank Carollo (Milo's dad) has looked at the picture and says the white dog could be Milo. I've been trying to find any Tylertown volunteer who might remember this white dog and know what happened to him. Would it be possible for you to put this picture in your Kinship Circle newsletter and ask if any Tylertown volunteer (or anyone else for that matter) recognizes the white dog?

12/26/06 Kathie, kasp@tops-tele.com  ~  Milo's dad, Frank Carollo, believes [the white dog in photo taken at Best Friends/Tylertown] might be Milo. Help Frank put his heart at ease by looking at the photo and passing it along. His family is devastated and wants him back. Milo is all white except for a brown ring around his right eye, and a brown patch at top of his left hear. He has dew claws and a cropped tail. He is a long-legged JRT. Check your files if you worked with Katrina dogs since you should have photos, along with records. Post this to Yahoo, Craig's list, Myspace and other groups. Post it on your sites, send it to anyone who may have info.

Here is what we do know: Emails have been sent to Bruce England, Allyn Harrad, Katie Keaty, Julien McRoberts of Watermelon Ranch and Nancy Marano of Petroglyphs. They believe the picture was taken at BF Tylertown when the Watermelon Ranch volunteers were there. No one has found the original. Bruce, Allyn or Katie, all at Tylertown, do not remember this dog, but they say that they worked with larger dogs. Katie thought this picture was taken at Toytown in Tylertown.

Cathy Scott of Best Friends did not think it was Tylertown at first because she did not think that they had bedding in the kennels. I came across a different photo taken by a volunteer named Evelyn Black that showed bedding in the kennels at Tylertown. Cathy then got Sherry Woodard who was in charge of the kennels to look at the white dog photo and Sherry recognized one of the other dogs in the picture; Sherry thinks that it is Tylertown. Cathy and Sherry are looking for records on the white dog but have not found anything. Cathy thinks that it dates from very early on at Tylertown.

However, according to Allyn, they arrived at Tylertown several days before Rita hit, probably about Sept 20 and left about Sept 27 which would make it a later time frame than what Cathy Scott guesses. It has been very difficult to get info about this photo and even more difficult to find anyone who recognizes the white dog.
