GREAT STORY from Penny Eims -Dog News Examiner
This 2011 story gives great information, that really confirms that DETROIT really does have a dirty little secret.
The Discovery Channel worked for a year, following stray dogs around Detroit, documenting the various packs that had formed and learning about how these abandoned dogs survived.
But when the documentary was presented to the City of Detroit, officials decided to shut down production.
The officials claim that the directive to shut down production stemmed from a need to protect the public, but some suspect that the documentary would expose this immense problem to the rest of the nation and cause a further blight on an already struggling city - something the city may want to avoid.
