Keri Thomas, owner of Dodger, writes:

I was the owner of Dodger, and was completely uninformed of the options that I had for Dodger. Of course, if I could change things I would, and my husband and I have changed a lot of things in our house and lives because of this. If this list can help just one person save a Dachsie, it's worth it. I want to thank Linda and everyone else for all the work they are doing on this project.
