Barrett Duke didn’t grow up with pets and never gave the welfare of animals any serious thought. Then he met Rusty — the golden retriever who stole his heart.
Duke discovered what most animal lovers know: that Rusty was more than just a random assortment of cells wrapped in fur. He had a personality and intelligence and a will that was all his own. When he lost Rusty to cancer, it was like losing a family member.

                                                                             

Calling All Peace-Loving Hindus

Who sees all beings in his own Self, and his own Self in all beings, loses all fear.
(Isha Upanishad)
I and my colleagues at Sadhana: Coalition of Progressive Hindus are heartbroken to read the news that Muslim man, Mohammad Akhlaq, was lynched and murdered by a Hindu mob in Northern India because it was rumored that he killed and cow and consumed the meat. News reports claim that a mob of Hindus wielding bricks, batons and swords came to the man's house to hunt him down, beat him to death and severely injure his son and mother.

A young woman is breaking taboos in Pakistan by being the country's only female fire fighter.
It is a highly unusual job in a conservative country where millions of women still struggle for basic rights like health care and education - at least three million girls are not in school and, in many rural and remote areas, child marriage is still prevalent.

Church leaders in Pakistan recently mobilized more than 1,000 Christians in front of the Punjab assembly to demand the withdrawal of what they said is an anti-minorities bill that denies voting rights to women, religious minorities and workers in local elections.  During the Oct. 7 protest in Lahore, the protesters shouted "shame, shame," and “minorities' murderers" as Catholic and Protestant bishops on a mounted truck called on the government to withdraw an amendment to the Punjab local government bill.
