Zoe

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Greetings,

Once again, I have been a little remiss in my blogging. Things have been a little crazy around here, but that's no excuse.

As a token of my remorse, here's kind of a nice little tidbit I heard yesterday from Kyle Held, cruelty investigator with the Humane Society of Missouri.

Zoe was one of the pit bulls seized from the residence of Jamie Sifford in Stoddard County last October, in connection with an alleged dog fighting ring.

Sifford, who faces 18 counts felony of dogfighting, voluntarily relinquished custody of most of the dogs seized in the bust.

Most of them are available for adoption, and Zoe, who is about four or five, has been selected by the Best Friends program to enter training as an outreach dog.

Zoe will be spending her days traveling to hospital and helping those with limited physical abilities, making their day to day lives easier and more pleasant.

Coincidentally, one of the Michael Vick dogfighting pit bulls was also selected to enter this program the same time as Zoe.

I was just wondering why your story in today's paper regarding the Joshua Kezer hearing held yesterday is missing from today's computer version of the paper?

Always nice to see good come out of a story that-for lack of a more colorful description-oozes with moral repugnance.

Thx for the tidbit. No remorse needed.
