Good morning, North Fork!

The top story in the news today is about a dog, shown in a video being thrown by his leash into a dumpster by a man who slams the cover of the dumpster down, leaving the dog trapped inside — and then drives away.

That dog is now safe on the North Fork and the loving staff at The League is trying to find him a home. It's here on the North Fork that these abandoned pets find their next chapters, and it's something that makes me so proud to be a part of this loving community. If you can help Justice, or any of the other pets in need of their new families, give The League a call or just stop by.

Until tomorrow. . . .

First, today's weather:

Warmer; a p.m. shower or two. High: 56 Low: 49.
