Everyone loves to cheer for the underdog, especially Lara, a four-year-old purebred English lab used as a backyard breeder who was confined to a small concrete slab before being rescued by a Good Samaritan. Join us in following Lara, now 30 pounds lighter, with her new family: Lillian Cox, a freelance writer; Joey Pearson, a sophomore at Georgetown University; Barney, a once severely neglected St. Bernard; Ollie, a rescued dachshund-mix; and Lucy, an umbrella cockatoo - and head of the pack.
Lara and her family and friends have moved to a new blog at "A Nose for News." We look forward to welcoming you to our new home!
