When you invest your dollars in The HSUS, I want you to feel you are getting a good return. To that end, it's important not just to look ahead to the challenges for 2009 and beyond, but also to look back in order to see what progress has been made.

To commemorate the year and show you all that your support has helped to achieve, we’ve prepared this special video highlighting some of our collective successes for 2008.

Tomorrow we’ll be releasing the video more broadly, but I wanted to give you—as my loyal blog readers—a special sneak peek. Watch and enjoy and know that you played a major part in making progress for animal protection. After you watch, if you are able to make a special year-end gift to help keep our momentum going, I’d be so grateful. I thank you in advance, and I know we couldn’t have done it without you.
