Wag Run Repeat

Barnaby, a shelter dog who had endured abuse for most of his life, was terrified of the dark and shaking in his cage at a vet clinic around 2:00 AM. Jessica, a night-shift vet tech, noticed him crying and unable to calm down.

Instead of staying in the break room, she returned to the kennel with a pillow and blanket and lay down on the concrete floor beside him. Barnaby stopped crying, curled up against her, and fell asleep. The moment was recorded on the clinic’s security camera.

While his past could not be changed, the comfort and care provided that night offered him a sense of safety. The story highlights quiet acts of compassion and the importance of remembering animals beyond social media attention.

Looking for Answers

We are asking the Parker Community for any information that can help us figure out who abandoned these dogs yesterday. It happened near the parking lot of Pioneer Elementary, off of Riva Ridge, at about 8:30 am on August 6th, 2025. All we have at this time is that a white pick-up with a topper dropped these two dogs off and then drove away. The driver was described as a white male, middle-aged, of average build. One of the dogs is an adult female, the other is a six-month-old puppy. Neither are chipped, and both have signs of neglect.

We are hoping to get any information someone might have who may have been in the area that day, or information from a dash camera or other video, such as doorbell footage.

The dogs are currently being cared for at a shelter.

Tips can be sent to Parker Police Community Services Officer Jacob Gingold at [email protected], or 303-805-6851.

Bark Air, the “100% totally real airline for dogs,” had its first flight on Thursday from New York to Los Angeles — and it was sold out. Although domestic tickets cost around $6,000 (for both Fido and Fido’s human), it appears you can’t put a price tag on a happy dog, as many of the upcoming flights are listed as sold out as well.

In truth, Bark Air isn’t an actual airline, but rather a charter operator. The flights are real, though, and they’re pawsitively luxurious for pups.

Unlike traditional plane journeys, where non-service dogs are generally required to stay in a crate or put in aircraft cargo holds, Bark Air has space for them to “spread out comfortably,” doggie champagne (aka chicken broth), calming treats, lavender-scented towels, toys, and more.
