Century 21 agent allows home to `go to the dogs'
When he heard 12 "celebrity" Dalmatians would need a place to stay
while attending a charitable event in Las Vegas, David Abraham of
Century 21 MoneyWorld came to the rescue.
Abraham and his wife, Valerie, agreed to house the dogs during their
weekend visit last May.
"It was quite a sight to come home from work and see them all out
there," David Abraham said. "It got to the point where we were able
to distinguish them by their markings and personalities. They were
very well-behaved, and mainly just played together in the back
yard."
Coincidentally, the Abrahams have a Dalmatian of their own, Gracie.
"Poor Gracie didn't know whether to play or run and hide," Abraham
said.
The dogs were in town to attend a photo session with local
firefighters who had posed for a calendar to benefit the Muscular
Dystrophy Association.
What made the couple's guests special was that all of the dogs had
been abandoned and subsequently rescued by Dalmatian ResQ, an
organization based in Riverside/Orange County in California. Randy
Warner started the rescue operation to help control the problem of
abandoned and abused Dalmatians.
Warner said the dogs were invited to the session, which was held at
The Forum Shops at Caesars, because of their visual appeal and to be
paired with the firefighters. He transported the animals in a
minivan from their home in California.
"It was quite a sight," Warner said. "You can't imagine what it was
like; twelve Dalmatians and one friend in a seven-seat van. We were
getting looks from every car that passed by."
Abraham works in the commercial division of the realty firm's office
on Sahara Avenue in Las Vegas. The company has four offices in the
Las Vegas area. |
