A tiny Long Island-based animal rescue operation is saving hundreds of dogs from landing on the menu in China and finding loving homes for the pups in the US. Run 2 The Rescue, co-founded by Sag Harbor resident Bonnie Klapper, has saved roughly 600 canines from the international dog meat trade by coordinating with a crew of on-the-ground heroes preventing the pooches from ending up for sale in open-air flea markets and festivals. “These were going to be somebody’s meal,” Klapper said, holding teary-eyed toy poodle Junebug, who was rescued alongside more than a dozen others after a Chinese breeding mill was shut down earlier this year.
