After two hearings upheld that declaration, Jake was supposed to be euthanzied, according to a revised city vicious dog law that received unanimous council approval last year.While on death row in a pen at Sioux City Animal Control, someone kidnapped him on Aug. 2. Jake drew a lot of attention from entrepreneurs who sold T-shirts, while the Weekender magazine started a "Vote Jake" campaign complete with campaign mugs, buttons, bumper stickers and T-shirts.Thanks Cilla. If you ever find out where the pooch has been hiding, please let us know. We had a dog accidentally bite Bryan when he was a toddler. Luckily I have a brother who could stitch Bryan's face without reporting the incident. BTW, my brother the surgeon did a beautiful job on Bryan's face.

They were supposed to give the coupons at 11am but at 8am they had already started?!?Anyhow my sister got one at 8:30am for 3pm. Only problem is they were very backed up. Kids between 6 months and 5 are the priority here. And apparently the kids were taking a long time.My niece was a champ and did not cry. But they did have to wait 2 hours even with their coupon.Did you attempt to go with them?
