The Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance and Mostly Mutts would like to introduce you to a senior canine who is in search of a permanent “Wonder”ful home!

Stevie Wonder is a special needs Lhasa/Shih Tzu mix who is diabetic and needs insulin daily. Stevie is legally blind but can see a little out of his left eye. He was found wandering aimlessly in the road and was in shock.

He is now stable and doing quite well. He runs “with the pack” at the shelter and enjoys attention from people and going for walks. Stevie requires a family or person who is capable of giving him his insulin shots. He cannot navigate stairs.

Miracles do happen, don’t they? We are all hoping for one for this amazing little survivor. Stevie was one of the featured canine models in CPAA’s Compassion for Fashion Show in April of 2007. He certainly looks dashing in his tuxedo!

Please consider opening your heart and home to this fine, deserving fellow! Let Stevie Wonder become your best canine friend. For more information or to meet him, e-mail robinp2@evenlink.com or call Mostly Mutts at (570) 374-0330.

CPAA is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to ending the killing of cats and dogs as the means of animal population control. For more information, please visit www.cpaa.info.

From the Associated Press:

CHICAGO — The Chicago City Council has repealed its controversial two-year-old ban on foie gras (fwah-GRAH’), a delicacy made of duck and goose liver.

The vote was led by Mayor Richard M. Daley, who called the measure that went into effect in August 2006 the “silliest” ordinance the council’s ever passed.

Supporters of the ban consider foie gras cruel because geese and ducks are force-fed to make their livers bigger.

The measure passed Wednesday by a vote of 37-6 with no debate.

The Illinois Restaurant Association and a local restaurant had filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to overturn the ban, but a U.S. District Court judge dismissed the effort last June.
