Everyday Heroes
Submitted by Chris Dodd on January 26, 2009 - 7:33pm.

Connecticut is full of everyday heroes, but all too often, their work goes uncelebrated.  That’s why I’m always happy to read stories like this one. Eileen has dedicated more than 30 years of her life to rescuing and rehabilitating retired greyhounds.  Thanks to her, thousands of dogs have found new loving homes among Connecticut families, enriching the lives of both the greyhounds and their new owners.  I am so glad Animal Planet has highlighted her work by selecting her as their 2008 Hero of the Year.
