So happy for a good outcome.

So thankful that all of these entities came together to save this sweet dog.

Yes, indeed! Imagine the poor creature's confusion and terror. Hurray for the heroes!

In our communities -- how we treat our children and our pets (animals) is a reflection of who we are....and what we value. Taking care of things that are weak, dependent and unable to care for themselves, is a task we are given by God. Good Job to all involved!!

Text of email sent to Mayor Mary last evening.

Dear Mayor Hawkins Butler:


Yet again, I am compelled to write and express thanks for the fine little community in which we live. This morning, my car died at the intersection of Hoy Road and Highway 51. It so happened that a Madison Police cruiser was in the next lane. I told the officer that I was stuck, and within minutes another cruiser and a police SUV were on scene. The first officer called for one of his colleagues to bring a “jump pack” to try to restart my car. This was unsuccessful. Next, one of the officers, whose vehicle was equipped with a “push bumper,” was kind enough to push me into the Firestone parking lot while the other officers blocked traffic. About this time a City of Madison employee with a pick-up truck was also on scene. Once in the Firestone driveway all three officers and the pick-up truck driver actually pushed my car into a parking space. The whole incident was over in less than ten minutes. I was impressed and most grateful for the assistance. I regret that I did not get the names of any of the officers or others so I could thank them personally.

I am once again reminded of how blessed we are to live in such a fine little city. Please pass along my thanks to the Chief of Police. This kind of help for a citizen in distress can only happen when the political and civil leadership in a community are A#1 first class.

With kindest regards and best wishes, I am

MICKENS SAYS: I think Jesus added criminals, prostitutes, the blind, the rich, the infirm, adulterers, the prisoners, just about everybody it seems.

Sort of like that "the least of these" thing
