...north Texas' largest and oldest no-kill shelter, teamed up Saturday 6/9 to bring humane education to the 2007 Dog Day Afternoon at Bob Woodruff Park in Plano. New to DDA this year - the Canine Compassion Tent, where volunteers from CFL, Operation Kindness, and the Red Cross teamed up to provide DDA guests with information on peparing pets for disaster, spay/neuter, and animal cruelty.
Sadly, just this past week, another victim of animal cruelty was brought in to Operation Kindness - a tiny blonde Chihuahua whose owner had thrown him to the ground in a fit of rage, breaking both his front legs. The owner used popsicle sticks and electric tape to fashion home-made splints, but the splints were too tight and they cut off the circulation to the already-broken legs. When Don Pablo was found it was too late - one leg had to be amputated. The other is still in jeopardy and may also have to be amputated. But Don Pablo remains a sweet, loving, creature who loves everyone he meets - humans and dogs.
Don Pablo was a big hit at the Canine Compassion Tent at DDA and helped make everyone aware not just that animal cruelty exists, but how to spot cruelty and what to do about it.
