http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/mine/ During the evacuation for Hurricane Katrina, people were forced to leave behind more than just their homes. Thousands of stranded pets were rescued and then adopted into new homes across the United States. As residents slowly returned to try and rebuild their lives, these "Katrina pets" became the center of full-blown custody battles, with people on both sides struggling to do what was right in the midst of an impossibly complex situation. MINE premieres February 16, 2010 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. Visit the Web site for more: http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/mine/

Randy Turner the lawyer with Turner & McKenzie in the movie is a horrible person. He is no animal lover. What should the woman have done? Left her mother in a wheel chair in the house and rescued the dog? She had to carry her mother in the wheel chair. The dog survived. The only reason she didn't get the dog back was because she didn't have money for a lawyer. If I adopted a Katrina dog and the true owner wanted it back, I'd give it back. I'd be very sad but I'd do the right thing.
