    Puppies
    When you drive down the street in Somerset, Ky., one house sticks out more than any other. It's unlike the other houses with gardens and trimmed grass. This house's paint is old, the yard is in disrepair and there are two La-Z-Boy chairs resting on the porch. After Michael Boyton, 6, threw his small black and white dog into a muddy pool of water, his twin sister Mekala arrived with a blanket to cover the puppy. She kissed him on the head as she dried him off. 'It will be all right, Itty Bitty, you won't be cold in a few minutes,' she said. 'I can sit on you to warm you up.' Summer Crow lives next door to the Boytons. She doesn't have any children herself, but watches over the six children that live in the duplex. 'Don't sit on that dog,' Crow yelled, as she petted her dog and smoked a cigarette. Michael ran around barefoot, dodging the broken plastic eggs left over from Easter. He was looking for more dogs to bathe. 'Puppies!' he screamed.
