This particular situation was very poignant inasmuch as the elderly gentleman, George Mitchell, said that he would have given up his struggle against the surging waters of Katrina had it not been for the actions of his long-time pet, his long-time friend.
Cette histoire est très émouvante, d'autant plus que le vieil homme, George Mitchell, a dit qu'il se serait laissé emporter par les eaux déferlantes de Katrina n'eut été de l'intervention de son animal de compagnie et compagnon de longue date.
