Jill Rosen is a reporter at
The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...
Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named
Leo Sesame and
Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named
Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.

These dogs were not RESCUED - they were BOUGHT. The national group (National Mill Dog Rescue)this rescue worked with purchased these dogs at auction. This was not a raid - this was a purchase.
Meanwhile, dozens of Virginia dogs will die this week in kill shelters that this rescue could have helped. But I guess it's just not as dramatic to pull the generic mixed shepherd mutts out of your local shelter than to call it a raid.
