In the news business there are days as a reporter you have to pinch yourself.

Is the boss really going to pay me to spend time with a celebrity?   On Monday I did just that.   I spent an hour with Gretsky.  No, no, no -- not Wayne -- but an absolutely brilliant five year old Belgium Malinos.

Check out my story about the People and Paws Search and Rescue organization in Butler, Wisconsin.  In its seventh year they have become a premier location for training dogs to search for human survivors in hopelessly dangerous disaster scenes.

The all volunteer organization helps out police departments too by helping to locate missing people.  Just as people are cleaning up after the weekend tornados around the midwest, dogs like Gretsky are critical to sniff the rubble human life. 

THE COST IS FREE.  People and Paws Search and Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that depends on individual and corporate donations.  There's never a charge to the people or organizations People adn Paws help out.    The all volunteer organization is made up of cops, firefighters and a dental hygenist.  They are folks with extraordinary dogs who love helping out.

Well not everyone has a Gretsky at home -- but tell me about your extraordinary pet hero.  

I challenge you -- it will be hard for you guys to beat the 8 dogs who make up the canine rescue team at People and Paws Search and Rescue.

Thanks for finding me Gretsky (you will have to see my package to understand that comment).

As always folks -- mucho thanks,
