Dog Drop 101

Much like our postal workers, those working dog drop work through all kinds of weather. Two years ago they checked dogs in temperatures that quickly fell to minus 50 when a freak storm moved through and only days ago some were outside in shirt sleeves. Now, it’s raining but that doesn’t slow or halt the procedure. The dogs come first, not the comfort of those caring for the dogs. Here, a volunteer comforts a dog as it awaits its human after being examined.
