I'm with Charlu on this, to a degree. While the ideal from the perspective of the many, poor, abandoned animals would be to adopt adult rescue/ shelter dogs, this is often a scary prospect. Many of us adopt pets because our children are learning to care for a pet, but to take on a fully grown dog with no history can be dangerous to children.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
