Dog recovered thanks to help from so many

To the editor:

Thank you, Cape Girardeau. We lost one of our three canine family members July 20 near the Shawnee Park soccer fields. Jackie was as special a dog as our family has ever known, and we vowed to do everything we could to find her. You may have seen lost-dog posters all around town, or her picture on the public-access cable-TV channel, or our lost-and-found ads in the Missourian over the past few weeks. Despite the terrible heat and drought we've had, we found our beloved Jackie 25 days later. We are so grateful for everything everyone in Cape Girardeau has done to help us, from good friends to total strangers. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You've shown us again what makes Cape Girardeau such a great place to live.
