Re: your Aug. 13 article, "Rescuing dogs is a taxing proposition":
As I write this, my 2-year-old terrier mix, Dagwood, is taking a morning nap next to my desk. His nose twitches from time to time as he dreams about the bunnies at the park and squirrels that dart out just past the end of his leash.
There is nothing extraordinary about this except that if it weren't for the heroic efforts of Josh Pasewaldt, this funny, curious, affectionate little dog would almost certainly have been euthanized at the Kern County Animal Shelter.
I encourage everyone in the community to come out and support Josh with his puppy rescue program either at the dog wash Sunday or just by dropping in at Newbury Park Pet Supply and making a donation -- because even heroes need help sometimes.
