    This is so good. I just wish more people were responsible pet owners that spay and neuter their dogs. There are so many good ones that need homes.........

    Bobbi, if I ever find a contest for someone who really loves dogs, I am going to nominate you. Your coverage on events like the Purina One, "Tour for Heroes" are just so helpful.

    Great coverage, as always.

    Gunner is SUCH a handsome dog! He makes me feel good just looking at him. ;-) And, what a great cause you've highlighted here... you do really good and valuable work!

    It's nice to see that Purina made it so that everyone in Houston and beyond can participate.

  • Jesse - Cochise County Libertarian Examiner 2 years ago

    Such a beautiful dog, I really wish people would be better owners. If you adopt or purchase a dog it is like having a child. There should be consequences for those who "get tired" of them.
