Meet Saint John. This good-looking guy was found along with seven other siblings dumped in an area community. Law Enforcement picked them up, and they came to the Haven in hopes of finding better humans. Saint John and siblings are lab mix dogs and their estimated date of birth is July 10. They will be large size dogs when full grown. They were very scared upon arrival but are very friendly and loving now. Adopters can complete an application at www.havenoftheozarks.org/ adopt.

40 YEARS AGO: NOT FLAGGED — A violation for delay of game Friday night drew no flag....instead an official escorted (better still carried) the offender off the field.

The whistle-toater (instrument in mouth) carried the friendly pooch off the field, necessitating a delay in the contest that was not chargeable as a violation to either team.
