...Orleanians' tastes-a gargantuan cheese souffle. Inside, despite a decidedly sublunary decor, the building is a mechanical marvel, capable of seating in air-conditioned comfort the entire populations of Andorra, Liechtenstein and Monaco, with room left over for a couple of football teams, four trade exhibitions, a dog show and a few hundred ushers, guards and food vendors.

In only one year she placed 54 neglected dogs in new homes. Some of the dogs arrived with hair so thickly matted that Raker could cut off the coat in a single piece, exposing underneath a very thin dog riddled with worms. Dogs with neglected coats are susceptible to eczema, and flies lay eggs in warm, moist infected areas...
