Donated Pet Masks Already Saving Lives

I hope you saw The News Journal story over the holiday weekend about the Minquadale Fire Company using oxygen masks specifically designed for pets to help save the lives of eight cats. The Wilmington Kennel Club donated the masks -- a set of small, medium and large -- to each fire department in New Castle County. Next up: Kent and Sussex.

It's an example of how a service organization -- in this case the kennel club -- can fill in a gap that government otherwise might not be able to handle. And already the generous donation is paying dividends.

Well done, Wilmington Kennel Club.
