Hershey
 Meanwhile, one family had been looking on-line for their chocolate
Labrador retriever, Hershey Kiss. Hershey had been brought to the
Veterinary Teaching Hospital from one of the state’s animal shelters and
was being treated for a skin condition possibly due to exposure to
chemicals from the floodwaters in Chalmette, La. Hershey was in the
hospital for a few weeks when the family received a call from a friend
letting them know that their dog was at LSU. “We didn’t evacuate until the
Friday after the storm. We didn’t want to leave the dogs. That’s the main
reason we didn’t leave right away,” said Hershey’s owner. Hershey was
released from the hospital and was able to join them in their temporary
home in Mandeville, La. The family is still looking for their female
Labrador retriever.
