(Cleveland)- One night after walking dogs at City Dogs Cleveland, I was asked to give a six-month-old pit bull puppy a short break from kennel life. Apparently, Acorn had taken to throwing his metal water bowl against the concrete sides of his kennel 24/7, driving both the other dogs and the staff absolutely nuts. Thinking it would be fun to have a puppy for a couple of days, I agreed. I had no idea how that puppy would change my life forever! Her essay on Acorn helped Mary win $10,0000 for Cleveland Animal Care and Control and the city dogs program from the Petco Foundation. https://www.petcofoundation.org/love-story/puppy-proves-different-doesnt-hold-back/
