In Search of the Human Spirit

This is an update on the story I ran Sunday on the veterinarian who was trying to save dogs from puppy mills. She made it to the breeder’s auction and was able to save 71 dogs. They bid on the worst of the lot knowing that almost all the other bidders were looking for breeding dogs for their own puppy mills.

Some of the dogs were so sick they could not travel. They have been sent to animal rescue shelters and sanctuaries in Florida. The rest will be brought home to California where necessary medical treatments will be started.

102 year old Elsie McLean probably has had a long list of achievements in her long life. Last week, she added a new one to the list–a hole in one. This is a record as she is the oldest golfer ever to get a hole in one.

McLean’s feat was accomplished at Bidwell Park in California. The avid golfer was astonished when her friends told her the ball was in cup. She’d never had one before.

Prior to this, Harold Stilson broke the age record in 2001. He was 101 years old.
