INQUIRER READERS WILL KNOW
Your Nasty Neighborhood Puppy Mill

If you've been following, or at least have taken an interest in, the plight of the hundreds of dogs recently taken into custody from a pair of suspected puppy mill operators operating in this city's western exurbs, be sure to pick up a copy of tomorrow, Friday's, Philadelphia Inquirer, or look for the paper on line.

Those of us trying to keep tabs on developments in the case are expecting a follow-up article by Bonnie Cook, who wrote the paper's initial piece, "Two Chesco Men Accused of Cruelty Involving 337 Dogs," published there on February 16.

I have heard the Inquirer took several photographs of the dogs, which are now in the care of the Chester County SPCA (DONATIONS: 1212 Phoenixville Pike, West Chester, Pa., 19380), though how many, if any, of these images might be published tomorrow is at this point uncertain.

[Post-publication addendum (February 24): And here is Cook's article from today's paper: "Aid Pours in for Dogs Rescued from Kennel."]
