The Toledo Blade Has Gone to the Dogs

The Toledo Blade Newspaper Building

For over a year now, The Toledo Blade has been obsessed with dogs. It is a rare occasion that the newspaper does not feature a dog story on its front page or the first page of the second section. It all began with concerns about the former dog warden and the number of dogs being put down instead of being adopted. Unfortunately, the obsession has continued. Is it that Toledo is so boring our daily newspaper has nothing else to cover? Or is it that photographs of cute dogs sell papers?

"One of America's Great Newspapers" is in danger of becoming "One of America's Great Canine Papers." It's not likely  that dog stories are going to win a Pulitzer.
