(12/21/07) “Spot” and the shot heard round the world.....or at least by ARNO and you! One can only imagine what Spot, a friendly, 50-pound rambunctious 11-month old puppy endured. About midnight on the night of December 7, 2007 in New Orleans East, an area still eerily containing miles of untouched devastation with little population, Spot was shot. A dog-fearing security guard fired the crippling bullet. The horror continued as Spot was left to bleed to death and die on the street. Through the blessing of a good samaritan and compassionate donors, ARNO was able to assist this wonderful creature.
