Although we like to try and write about positive events, sometimes we feel an obligation to report the negative in order to make people more aware that animal cruelty is real and efforts need to be made in order to stop it. We just received an email today concerning an event that occurred last week about a dog who was forced to where a collar made of fish-hooks!

The Border Collie mix had to have emergency surgery. Thankfully, the dog should be all right. However, Humane officers state that he could have died had he not received immediate attention. They are working to get to the bottom of the problem. If you have any information you are urged to contact them!
