I hear you lost a dog entrusted to your care at the June 20th event. How do you justify this, and what are you going to do for the dog and his family? Show some COMPASSION.

It was very unfortunate that a dog ran away while waiting for free pet treatment at the event. I was one of the several volunteers and security people who walked around the school looking for the dog.

I hope for the dog and family's sake the dog is found safe and sound.- Stacy Kean, Compassion SE volunteer
