Over the last several days, many of us have been praying for friends in Nashville, who have been driven from their homes by flooding. They’ve lost family members, belongings, homes…

… and pets.

I wonder what is being done to help the dogs and cats who are probably frightened, perhaps stranded, possibly trapped.

This is on my mind because I’ve just seen a documentary distributed by Film Movement. It’s a compelling and moving account of the rescuers who sought to save troubled animals, and who then tried to reunite them with their former owners. The stories of those efforts lead us to wonderful portraits of people and their beloved pets, to the lives of the generous animal-lovers who took in wounded survivors, and to the tensions that resulted when some of those adoptive families were asked to return the pets to their original owners.

My thoughts on MINE are up today at Image.
