More Harriet

Over the weekend we staffed a booth for Shamrock at the Inaugural “Sunny Day: Shedding Light on Animal Cruelty.” This was fundraising/awareness event put on in honor of Sunny, a female pit bull that was thrown off the 2nd Street bridge into the Ohio River back in July (we’re talking over 80 feet!). She survived and they actually just recently caught the guy.

Unfortunately, it was one of the coldest days so far and it was really windy and we were right beside the river which made it worse. Crowds were less than expected but the event still raised over $5500, which was great.

We took Harriet along with some original pictures from the day we found her to show off how much better she looks now. While Sunny was showcased as an illustration of gross animal cruelty, Harriet is a prime example of another type animal cruelty, extreme neglect (remember the labs?)

Anyway, since it was so cold out and we didn’t want the old girl to freeze we packed up her bed, blanket and got her a jacket before we went. Here are some pictures:

Then on Sunday we took a drive into Clark State Forest to see the changing color of the leaves. We stopped at an overlook and took some more pictures:
