You may remember that we've addressed the issue of military dogs in the past.  Now I had always thought that military dogs were considered personnel just like their human counterparts, afforded all the same honor and benefits after a lifetime of service and retirement; but I was really disappointed to find out a few years back that his wasn't the case at all.  Well, the American Humane Association has been working to change this for some time and they are making progress.  To update us on the status of our honored military canines, Robin Ganzert, the President of the American Humane Association will be checking in shortly to give us all an in-depth report.   And after our halftime break, Maria Dales from German  Shepherd Rescue of Orange County has a great story to tell about how competing in a beauty pageant has raised money for homeless pets.  And believe me, if anyone can win a beauty pageant, it’s Maria who is one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out!  -Marie Hulett, Host of The Pet Place
