Tony Danias from the McKean County SPCA stopped by the station with these two puppies this afternoon. They were dropped off outside the shelter overnight. They're perfectly healthy, and have had their shots. They'll be ready for adoption in about a week.

For the second time in three days the SPCA has been asked to take care of a wounded bird. Duck hunters found the blue heron near Tuna Crossroads and took it to the SPCA. The SPCA’s Tony Danias is taking the bird to Mark Baker of Eagle’s Dream Bird Rehabilitation in Olean, where the bald eagle that was found Monday is still living. Baker thought the bird would have to be euthanized, but they are still treating its shattered wing. By the way, Tony tells us he's glad he's not in Ohio today looking for lions, tigers, bears, cheetahs and the other animals that are on the loose.

One of the most emotional parts of the American Cancer Society's annual Relay for Life is the Survivor Ceremony. Friday was no exception. Following his speech that didn't leave a dry eye in the tent, 16-year-old cancer survivor Tyler Johnson accepts a check from fellow survivor Dorie Meabon of Kids and Cancer. Kids and Cancer helps families defray the costs of cancer and other illnesses. Their benefit motorcyle (and all street vehicle) run is July 16. Here, some other survivors and their caregivers take a lap around the track.
