150 degrees. For more information and to help spread the word, please visit MyDogIsCool.com. If you see a dog in distress locked in a car in a

| Little Clarence getting oxygen therapy at the vet. |
December was quite a month for our sweet little Clarence. Soon
after his arrival we noticed he was having trouble breathing so we took him to the vet. X-rays showed that one of his lungs
was in distress and surgery revealed that little Clarence had an abscess on his lung. The specialist surgeon removed the
abscessed part of his lung and Clarence is now recuperating quite nicely. Clarence's surgery bills cost the WGAWL over
$5,000 (which is a big chunk from our budget!) so if you can help with a donation you will be helping Clarence and the new
pets who arrive in 2008 who need medical attention. You can send a donation via PayPal to donations@wgawl.org or click on
the PayPal link on our Donations page. Your generosity and compassion help us to help homeless pets!
