Front page news

Know what the nicest part of this is for me on the forum? For once we have a thread that is more then 5 pages in dog chat about something postive. A whole lot of the negativity on here was my inspiration and kept me going.
I also wanted to prove by "doing" a few things. THat force training is completely out of touch, as well as choke chains and prong collars being archaic as the "rule of thumb". I wanted to show that one person can make a difference, even if you have nothing, which is pretty much what i have. I wanted to show that a dog with multiple issues as a rescue could work through all of them and go on to have a well behaved and happy life. I hope i accomplished that. I also wanted to pay it forward
Victor and i both thank you Connie Guthrie, without you, we wouldn't be us. last of all the Photographer that took the awesome shot, i sure wasn't expecting anything like this! ANd the Kansas City Star for thinking our aim was important enough to put on the front page. I hope that brought in some more donations.
Maybe next year Victor and i can sneak away and join Grammy and Ollie! Would deffinately be more fun together.

Oh my god Smkie that is a wonderful picture. You and Vic are such a great team and I'm sure you helped a whole lot of people. I'm so proud of both you and Vic. I agree with Renee. You should call the paper and get a copy. If it's digital they might just email you it. That's what I used to do. Are you going to frame it?
Confess yes, i framed it. I have it on a disc that my brother downloaded from the paper and it came out great. Alot better then the pic in the paper newsprint you can see more detail. THanks Saje! Because you are journalist i really wanted to share with you. My brother razzed me about being Vic being the first to make the front page without a serial number
