Ah, the Power Of Advertising --Cagle
Why? The mixed breeds that are in shelters get put down when an owner cannot be secured in a given time. Also, pure breeding has developed a bit of a bad reputation, with its often less-than-ideal conditions.
Take heart, animal lovers. While Partner Printing.com can't satisfy your quest for the animals in its ads, you can secure one simply by doing business with the company. It offers a rewards program with a point given for every dollar spent, which can be redeemed for gifts. Among the items in its gift catalog, along with the televisions, cars and grand pianos, is an American Quarterhorse.
TOUCHING STORY
The following story comes from The Times of India. A press operator was fortunate to have seven of his shorn-off fingers reattached during a 14-hour microsurgery. The fingers were severed while the employee worked on a paper cutting machine.
Reattachment involved joining 33 blood vessels, 14 nerves, 14 tendons and seven bones, according to the paper.
It took eight hours alone for the victim to reach the hospital, which was roughly 200 miles away from the accident scene. He is now undergoing therapy.
DEVASTATING FIRE
On an even more somber note, the owners and employees of Paarl Print in Paarl, South Africa (fewer than 50 miles northeast of Cape Town), are still reeling from the April 17 fire that killed 10 people and injured 10 others. There were 120 employees in the building when the fire broke out, according to the Pretoria News.
Paarl Media, parent company of Paarl Print, has established a support fund for relatives of the fire victims.
At press time, investigators were trying to determine the cause of the blaze. It was the second time this year that fire struck a Paarl Media company. A press was destroyed by fire at Paarl Gravure, but no one was injured.
