Release the Hounds!

As we wrote a few weeks back our local animal non-profit, YAPS, Inc., has been raising funds with the goal of hosting a vet clinic in the fall of this year. The western Pacific has very few, if any veterinarians, and there are none whatsoever in Yap. The drive has been surprisingly successful and has included contributions from many loyal followers of our blog. We think it is a powerful testament to the bonds between people and their pets.

We created this video as a thank-you to those who have contributed to the cause. The photos and video that follow have been taken during the last couple of months; sadly, two of the little guys who we managed to record on film fell victim to cars and are no longer with us. YAPS, Inc. is still accepting donations, one hundred percent of which will go toward supporting the vet clinic here in Yap. You can visit the group's website at www.yapsinc.org. Thanks for reading.
