Jameson supports BARC!
In February 2014 we all read the local story of a 5-month old puppy who suffered a fractured skull in an unthinkable animal abuse situation.  Detective Alison Metcalfe adopted the pup, now known as Jameson, and he is as happy and cute as can be!  Detective Metcalfe of the Ludlow Police Department, with illustrative help from Detective Sgt Louis Tulik, recently wrote a book called Jameson’s Journey.  Alison and Jameson spent lots of time with us in the BARC booth for a meet & greet and book signing!  A percentage of proceeds from book sales went directly to BARC. 

THANK YOU JAMESON!
