The Leader of the Pack Howls
Dear Readers,
I am really so excited about this, our biggest and best issue ever! The combination of fun and excitement, color and new features and even our first ever contest! It all began with our new Woofstock, Prescott Valley event which inspired this theme. The event will be taking place on Sunday, May 20th at AZ Agribusiness & Equine Center Campus in the heart of Prescott Valley. It will be filled with fun for the whole family and to keep with our mission of raising awareness of shelter and rescue animals and assist in adoptions, the event will include dogs, cats and even horses for adoption. The day will also be filled with demonstrations, contests and a whole lot of fun!
I am also very happy about our cover story and was thrilled to meet all our heroes, both two and four-legged. The story titled, “A Cast of Heroes” describes what it takes to be a Police K-9 Unit. It is a combination of bravery, commitment and training to do this dangerous job of protecting and serving our community in some of the most treacherous situations. We were so impressed with them that we have decided to create a brand new, regular feature about Police Dogs starting in our next issue. We are honored to share the story of these remarkable teams and thank them for their service. You will also get a chance to meet all these officers in person at our Woofstock event on May 20th.
At our monthly staff luncheons, we all get together and not only share a meal but we have a “think tank” where everyone contributes new ideas for the publication. Our last meeting yielded a new feature that you will see in this issue called, Animal Antics and it is sure to make you howl with laughter!
Another new idea was to have our first ever, contest for our readers. We have heard stories from some of you about your pets so we thought we would do a Writing Contest where the winner’s story would be published in The Prescott Dog and even get a little money! You will find all the details about it in this issue, on page 18.
And please be sure to read this issue’s “Soldier Dogs” feature as it is now official, studies have shown that MWD’s (Military War Dogs) have been recognized for having PTSD as a result of their service.
This issue is filled with so many wonderful stories so I hope you take your time and read them all. And please spread the word about our exciting, new Woofstock event that I know will be a lot of fun for everyone. I hope to see you all there!
Love, Light & Laughter,
Ann & Bernie
