Abandoned Pets

On this episode of Hear in the City we visit with two extraordinary people who dedicate their lives to caring for pets who would otherwise fall through the cracks of the urban economic crisis. One, a veterinarian and self-proclaimed "bleeding heart", is owed $40,000 by the City of Los Angeles Department of Animal Services. The other, a computer scientist who feed feral cats by night, is an unusual creature on the streets of L.A.: a walker, a veritable flaneur.
