    Thank You Ingela Levett

    On November 13, 2008, the world lost a tremendous force of good in the dog world.

    Ingela Levett, 63, was the Founder and President of Rawhide Rescue. A non-profit rescue group of foster homes that worked tirelessly to find “forever homes” for dogs. She helped save over 2000 dogs and brought happiness to so many people.

    What’s the Difference between a Pit Bull and a Palin?

    A pit bull is unfairly maligned and a palin maligns unfairly.
