At 15-1 odds and in the 19th position, he wasn’t considered a serious contender. His [...]]]></description>

He is Director of the No Kill Advocacy Center in the US and is giving a lecture and workshop at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre Apr. 14th.  I don’t get star-struck that often, but this sounds like one very impressive [...]]]></description>
