Dogs Finding Dogs receives an ambulance formerly owned by the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department.
Anne Wills was thrilled when she acquired a used ambulance for her nonprofit organization, Dogs Finding Dogs—a group that uses tracking dogs to locate lost or missing animals. The vehicle was perfect, with room to haul cages and plenty of compartments inside and out for carrying equipment and traps. But there was a problem. There was a bewildering number of switches and components that aren't usually found on a consumer vehicle, and some things appeared to no longer work. "I found that the electric in the back and the outside big lights would not work," Wills said. Wills contacted the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department asking for the assistance of somebody familiar with ambulances, so Capt. Douglas Simpkins went to check it out. "I met her …

A beautiful weekend day takes a turn for the strange at an Arbutus playground.
Have a nice weekend? Beautiful weather, wasn't it? Not the sort of day to get arrested, but that's almost what happened. My crime? Cleaning up dog poop. On Saturday morning, I took my little girls to the Arbor Manor Park playground on Elm Road, one of our favorite places. We hadn't been there long when we discovered that some inconsiderate person had allowed his or her dog to do his business beneath the monkey bars. Children had walked through the dog deposit, and there was visible splotches of dog feces smeared on the playground equipment—on the climbing wall, on the slides, on steps, all over the place. One of my daughters came over upset that she had dog poop on her hands. Both kids had feces on their shoes and clothing. We had to leave…
