It’s a little early in the year for this, but unfortunately, it has happened again: someone left a dog in the car, and the poor animal died from the heat. Really? This still happens? Even after all of the publicity that results each time this happens?

Tucker Receives Random Act of Huge Kindness
From the CNN iReport, which brings us good news: Christina Summitt works three jobs, trying to support her three step-children, as well as her work in dog rescue. Her own dog, Tucker, a Great Dane-Black Lab mix, is never far from her thoughts. He recently swallowed a plastic ball, and she knew he’d need surgery to remove it, but the estimated cost was $2,700.

This story grabbed my attention because the dog is originally from Texas (where my dad was raised), but was found in Hamilton, Ohio (where my mom now lives). Weird, huh?
Corbin, a Chiweenie from Killeen, Texas apparently tunneled out of his back yard on March 25th.
