The Story of Rex hit the paper today!

I am glad people are hearing about Rex and the abuse to animals by Tribal Police.

Alas, the reporter got some details in his article wrong. Rex was found hours after he was shot, not days.

The link to the Time Standards Article is

The Two Rivers paper will have another article out on Tuesday. That should have more details for all who are interested.

Rex is still mending. He is going in to have his infected teeth removed on Monday, since the rest of his wounds are stable now. 

I told my students on Friday part of what happened (they are too young for full details) because I felt it better they heard it from me and to give them a chance to talk and share feelings before it hit the paper. One of my students claimed the dog as his and cried for the last 45 minutes of class. Four other students wrote about Rex and how he would lick their faces and play with them.

Rex is a very loved dog.
