The American Dog Magazine reports Why Am I Here?

A recent feature in The American Dog Magazine 
reports on Documentary Filmmaker Tom McPhee 
with the World Animal Awareness Society in Haiti after the devastating earthquake


From the Summer 2010 issue:
Tom McPhee, founder and executive director of the World Animal Awareness Society (www.wa2s.org) traveled to earthquake-ravaged Port-au-Prince, Haiti, so he could document and film the rescue and assessment work being done by major international animal rescue organizations. Tom tells us, “I have a purpose, and I believe I'm supposed to be here filming the potentially important intersections between humans and animals during this time of crisis.” Tom met up with members of ARCH (Animal Rescue Coalition Haiti) and SODOPREC@ (the Dominican Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and spent time filming the widespread devastation inflicted upon the people and animals in this crisis, which left hundreds of thousands of people and animals dead, injured, or homeless.
