“To the Editor,

For over three week's a German Shepard dog was run- ning: ‘around Thornhill: -Terrace, even after many attempt's to try to cateh this dog; it still evaded me. The RCMP assisted me, the public assisted me and still it ran free. For a while it was not seen In the area then it turned up, A

member of the public phoned the RCMP saying there was a dog running around with porcupine quills in it’s face. It -~

turned cut to be the elusive dog we had been trying.to catch.

[set up the dog trap at afew places’ in the hope of catching ~

it, and getting it to the vet's for treatment; but it still evaded me, until one morning last week I received a call from The Copper River Motel manager, Don Anderson, saying that:

e dog was aroutd.the motel, - = oe . 1 set out and set up: the dog trap, hoping to catch the usive dog. After setting the trap [received a ‘all from the -

motel next day that the dog was in the trap. [ went there immediately but luck was‘on the dog!s side he somehow got - out and was on the run again, it was getting urgent to get

hold of the dog as the porcupine quills had been in the dogs. . face for a good few day's. Two day’s later! got a call at 7:10

a.m, thatthe dog had been caught and once again I went out

- togethim. When I got theresure enough he was there anda

resident of the motel a Mr. George Lavinski who was very concerned about the dog and immediately told me to take the dog to the vet and he: would pay the bill and alsa to get the dog medication. ”

“Mr. Lavinski left a $100 blil with the management of the’

hotel to pay for. the dog's treatment, and I am reaily.

overwhelmed that a total stranger to me and the dog should beso. .very kind hearted a3.to-‘do this. [ took the dog to the vet and-got the necessary treatment. “The dog has been founda very good home and 1'm pleased te say he is coming along just fine, He is very protective to his new owner and is still a bit nervous, but through time he will settle down, I would like to say through this paper a very big thank you to Mr. Lavingki, and also to the members of-the public who ” helped in many ways | to get this poor dog...

If the dog had had a dog licence tag on him 1 could have found who his owners were and all the running around and: the late night’s could have been avoided, a lot of unpleasant

thing’ 3 are said about dog control; but I'm pleased to say it.”

is nice when I get stopped in the street and get told that the publicis very pleased with the dog control and that itis nice to be able to walk down the street without being chased: by a pack of dog's:

I'msure the ‘public who ar are the a owners of dogs do not wish :

the above to happen to their dogs, so 1 ask you to keep your’ dog contained on your property, and to make sure your dog. hasa current licence on his collar and if he-she is picked up then I can contact you without delay.. Your dog can be * returned safely, s0 please ensure that your dog is licenced and also it is not running around the streets. If it is picked - up it can be very.expensive, and’ if. your dog is missing - ‘phone the Animal’ shelter at 438-1565. Weare open Mon- Fri. Ipm-to6pm: —_

Once again many thanks to‘ everyone wha assisted i in ~ helping taget this seog medication and a Agoodhome,“

’ “Although the 1981 increase appears impressive, it was less than our projected increase of six per.cent. The dif- _ ference in.our projected increase and-the actual increase _ was due to the fact’that there was virtually no © growth ’ beyond the recovery.” ;
