Dear Editor:
Have you looked at your
dogs outside, lately?
Will your dog make it
another winter?
Some I see around Electra
are not getting enough food.
Some people say they are
animal lovers but how can they
be if they treat them the way
they do.
No love, no kind words and
not enough food.
Where there are more dogs
then the one that’s the strongest
eats first and the others get what
is life. Therefore, not getting
enough.
Age has nothing to do with
helping someone. Help who
needs it.
