Saturday Survey: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished


Remember the man who wanted to get his dog out of the shelter, but couldn’t afford to do so? By the time funds were raised to take care of the fine and shelter fee, the man was nowhere to be found.
This story was big on Facebook. So big, in fact, that I wasn’t even sure it was a true story.

However, as this news piece shows, not only was it true, it also had a happy ending! The man and his dog, Buzz Lightyear, were recently reunited through the kindness of strangers.

The bad news came a day or so later, when the dog’s owner began berating the Good Samaritan to release the rest of the donated money directly to him. She is unwilling to do so because she feels he will spend it not on the dog but on his alleged drug habit. So, now he is threatening to sue her.

So, here’s our Saturday Survey: what should be done with the money?

Good day, and good dog!

Dog’s Micro-Chip Helps Family Identify Lost Son






Here’s a twist on why it’s a good idea to micro-chip your dog. In this video, the authorities used a dog’s micro-chip to identify a “John Doe” who had died of an overdose.

I was originally drawn to the video because the dog looks exactly like a huskier version of my Kayla. But in reviewing it, I think it has some relevance for all of us. Not that I’m wishing any of you or your relatives end up as John or Jane Does in a morgue, but I’d also hate for you to remain unidentified if you do end up there.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

The dog was brought in by the local police as a stray, but he has an owner, and right now, the public’s assistance is needed to help identify that man, and to help get him back to the facility to claim his dog.
