Why We Check The Facts
For tonight’s Good Question, we’re talking about pets (because of the Westminster Dog Show). Why do we feel drawn to animals?Out in the field, I talked with a guy who told me that Burnsville had 60,000 residents, and 60,000 licensed dogs. That sounded remarkable to me, and I was tempted to put it in my story. But I thought, maybe I’d better double check that. According to Burnsville Animal Control, historically they have about 600 - 1000 licensed dogs. 600… 60,000… hey, what’s the difference!
The story is pretty interesting tonight… I learned three new things about why we’re into pets… so check it out at 10.
