And tragically, nearly 90 percent of the dogs picked up are euthanized. Detroit Dog Rescue is trying to change that. Hush: I had dogs my whole life growing up, uh, it's a passion for me right now. As everybody knows, I'm a rapper from Detroit and I have had my success. Mitch Albom: But even rappers have heart. Hush: But even rappers have a heart. Hush Carlisle started DDR with TV producer Monica Martino, after they posted a video of a stray Detroit dog eating a puppy. Hush: YouTube views went ballistic, we were at like 10,000 in like two days, and the comments that were on the page as we were watching it basically were people wanting to donate. DDR is raising funds for a no-kill shelter. Meanwhile, it combs the streets saving strays and matching them with willing new owners. The horror stories of abandoned dogs is heartbreaking. Like a landlord who had to evict two tenants. Hush: He went to the house to clean it up two weeks later and found a short little dog in the closet. They had just left it there to die. Sometimes dogs are abandoned simply due the economy. Hush: If they are just between a couple of checks or whatever when it comes to feeding them I'll just give them a 40 pound bag or a couple of 40 pound bags of food if you want to keep your dog. Mitch Albom: Is that often the case between a dog becoming a stray or not is a bag of dog food? Hush: Absolutely, absolutely. Helping save man's best friends, and matching good people with needy dogs, the Detroit Dog Rescue is showing the humane side of the heart of Detroit.]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:57:25 GMT http://detroitdogrescue.com/index.php?option=com_hwdvideoshare&task=viewvideo&Itemid=157&video_id=5  NBC Nightly News profiled Detroit Dog Rescue for their "Making a Difference" segment, and filmed DDR rescuing two very wonderful dogs...who need your help.
