I was with a friend of mine the other day and I had a Ray Allen catalogue with me. For those of you that are not familiar with Ray Allen it is a catalogue of elite K9 equipment for working dogs, primarily police and narcotics, but a little of everything sprinkled in. As he was thumbing through the pages waiting for me to finish my phone call he came upon the one page that had any interest for him…T-shirts. I was just hanging up the phone when he pointed to a t-shirt and said “You should have this shirt” I looked at the picture and all the air whooshed out of my lungs and I almost choked on instant hot tears. The black t-shirt jumped out of the page and burned my eyes.

Heat stroke time is here. It’s actually present anytime the heat is on – which is quite often in Arizona and the southwest. What is heatstroke? It’s a condition where the body’s temperature rises. When you are standing out in the heat, sweating or sizzling like an egg on the concrete sidewalk, imagine how your dog must feel.

Could that nice Mr Jones that waves from across the street be an animal hoarder? Or what about old Mrs. Potter down the lane with the long driveway and the kids that don't visit her any longer? Do you know what an animal hoarder looks like? Would you know how to recognize one if they lived on your street? They could live next door or be someone you see at the grocery store. With 3500 prosecuted cases each year and many more than go unnoticed chances are good that you have at least met an animal hoarder before and didn't even realize it. I know I did.
