Each day, hundreds of thousands of stray and unwanted dogs are born around the world. How society should care for these homeless animals -- many of whom end up at animal shelters -- is a controversial topic with significant humanitarian and public health implications.
At one rural animal shelter in upstate New York, founder Sue Sternberg and her staff respond to this crisis -- one animal at a time. As a seemingly endless stream of homeless dogs arrives at their doorstep, Sternberg and her staff navigate a world in which there are no simple solutions, and where decisions are often of a life-and-death nature.
The award-winning and moving documentary 'Shelter Dogs', airing as part of this Link special, reminds us that dogs do not control their own destinies, and that we humans, who do hold control, can either acknowledge or ignore the opportunity to do right by them.
