Pet Show – 8-year-old raising money for dog vests
Listen to Pet ShowVicky Galindo, 8, is a pretty amazing little girl. Her dog, Oreo, was hit by a car this year, and to honor him, she’s raising money to buy two vests for the El Reno police dogs. (This photo shows the two of them together.) She has more than $60 in the bank so far, and she’s got about $1,194 to go.
Dawn gave us some great tips for the new year. Half of them were real. The other half? Dawn is making stuff up.
Here are the big stories we talked about today.
- - Sharks have wimpy bites. What? Yes, really!
- - In case you were wondering, Obama went to the zoo.
- - Pet food settlement money is on the way.
