In honor of Chaplin, the light of Barbara Rosenthal’s life, and a social butterfly with his own e-mail address (“chaplin4paws”), who succumbed to his cancer soon after Barbara’s untimely loss (see the tribute to our great friend and supporter Barbara Rosenthal.) Remembrance donations by Judy Wolfe, Peter and Mickey Bickford, Muriel Danon, Dorothy Newshan, Ferne Spieler and Joan Scheier, April 2011.
In memory of Cassie, adopted by Ron & Erika Surkin when she was about one year old. Found hanging around a barn where Erika boarded her horse, Cassie not only loved having the run of Ron & Erika’s 7-acre estate in Chester Heights, PA, but also developed into a wonderful therapy dog, helping Erika in her counseling of children and adolescents. Cassie lived to the happy old age of about 13. Remembrance donation by Dean Surkin and Jacqueline Birnbaum, March 2011.
Falafel, loving companion to Hilary & Fran Clark since she was adopted in 2001.

Remembrance donation by Dean Surkin and Jacqueline Birnbaum, March 2011.
In memory of Kaiser, “spunky” friend and companion of Jane Donnelly and David Schult for 16 years. Remembrance donation by Mickey and Peter Bickford and Joan Scheier, March 2011.

Loving friend and companion of Dr. Elizabeth Appleman, Gertrude was adopted at age 3 from the Animal Rescue League in Pittsburgh and spent her formative years in NYC.
