How legends are born

Weekly Photo Challenge: Indulge

I took this week’s theme to heart and went to town — literally and figuratively — indulging myself.

Good Dog, Bad Dog

Once in a while every city gets a dog-related story. This week we’ve been shaken by two, one on the heels of another. The first story is a heartbreaking tale of a dog with a missing leg. The second… an unfathomable tragedy that affected the entire community. Good dog, poor dog Yesterday, a story ran [...]
