Today Show Video Now Online
If you missed the Today Show segment this morning -- yikes, it finally ran in the last 15 minutes of the 3-hour program! -- it is now available online at the Today Show Web site here. Click on the "Launch" button under the photo of Alayne with blind Penny and that will bring up a new window with the video.
We will be getting a tape of the Today story from NBC that we can digitize and post on our own Web site, but that may take a week or so before we can get it turned around.
We've had a phenomenal response to the Today piece -- it will take us days to reply to all the emails we've received just today ... more than 400 to me and over 150 to Alayne! So if you don't hear from us immediately, please bear with us ... you'll know why!
I just viewed the segment and am still just so amazed at what you do. I want to adopt every dog I see and add them to my dog/cat family! Seeing a rescued animal blossom and thrive is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have in life.

I taped the segment and felt so "close" to Alayne, Spirit and her proud parents; everyone looked beautiful and happy. Alayne did an excellent job during the interview; hard to do, I'm sure, given she had limited time!
I'm sure the segment touched and inspired many people. I hope the exposure brings about more wonderful blessings to you and the animals!

Saw you on Today Show and so admire the wonderful work you people do. Keep up the great work! I'm sending a donation this week. I'd like to see more national stories done about the ranch to help get the word out. Thanks again, Jan

I saw the Today Show piece and it brought tears to my eyes. I finally had a chance to check out your website. I will mail a donation on Monday. I can't think of a better place to make a difference.
God bless you for all you do!

Congratulations! I'm always visiting the website and imagine my shock when I came across the video headlined in the U.S. News section on msn.com news!

What a wonderful piece!!! Alayne you look so beautiful in the interview.

Great response! That's the magic of publicity. Only thing better is word of mouth. If everyone told 10 friends about RDR think about that amount of publicity.

It was a lovely piece! It was a great tribute / reflection of the work you do. I hope all The Animals got extra kibbles this morning: that way they'll be smiling ear-to-ear too!
