I would like to give a commendation to a Police Officer. On New Year's Eve, we got a call from the Galveston Vet Clinic telling us that our 11-year old Dachshund had been found walking loose on the street and had been brought in to them by a policeman. Apparently the dog had gotten out of our fenced yard and the officer had found him walking along the street. Fortunately the dog was wearing his dog tag with his name (Twinkie) and our phone number and also the Galveston Vet Clinic rabies tag.
The officer was kindhearted enough to take him to the Galveston Veterinary Clinic. We were out of town, but they called me on my cell phone. I had my mother pick him up from the Vet's office. We can't tell you enough how grateful we are for Officer Powers and his act of kindness. Twinkie is a member of our family. Without Officer Powers, we may have never found Twinkie.
Thanks. Adele Leyva, Galveston.
Editors Note: Officer Chad Powers is a K-9 Officer with the Galveston Police Department.
