Letter: KSS Halloween dog walk appreciated

The funds went to Shake-a-Paw that helps youth with mental health issues learn to train dogs needing a home.

To the editor:

On behalf of the Mary Ellen Humane Education Society, I would like to thank the Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ for its article in last Friday's newspaper about the recent Halloween Dog Walk organized by Juliet Watts and several other members of the Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ Secondary School Global Awareness Club. [Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ Secondary Global Awareness going to the dogs this Halloween, Oct. 28 Â鶹¾«Ñ¡]

The walk was to help fundraise for the charitable organization's program Shake-a-Paw that helps youth with mental health issues learn to train dogs needing a home. The fun event raised $265 to be put towards the purchase of dog training equipment. We were so grateful and impressed to see the youth of the KSS Global Awareness Club take a leading role in helping the community get engaged in supporting this worthwhile cause.

Dr. Kim Dawson, secretary-treasurer,

Mary Ellen Humane Education Society
