During the John Calvert Double Feature on Friday night, our volunteers noticed a puppy wandering in the middle of Harrison Street.   The dog was lost and scared.

We brought him into the theatre and tied a rope to his blue collar.   After the show we took the dog to the Shelby County Animal Shelter.   If you have lost this puppy, please check with the Animal Shelter to claim him.   He is a very gentle dog.
