This is the end of the trauma of the past coming back and smacking me across the face.

I just got an email back from Jenny. here it is.

No problem. It's not her. I live in Minnesota and a man I know started a rescue and has a huge female great Dane but she's a Harlequin(spotted black and white). This man rescued that animal (and more) from the Katrina area/time frame. I happened to be researching Great Danes(because I love the one this man rescued) and out of curiosity googled people who had lost pets in Katrina. I have a soft spot for this Harlequin dog and took a chance answering your ad. It was one of the few that didn't have a picture, so I couldn't rule out if your dog was her. I'm so sorry that it wasn't a match. The man who runs the rescue said that he tried to connect his rescued animals with their owners, but it's so difficult because there wasn't really a central authority or location or website to post info on these rescued animals. Please know that I'm sorry for you that you've lost a pet and didn't mean to stir up any grief.JennyZ
