How refreshing to start the morning by reading the front-page story about Tater Tot saving his owner’s life (“Nurse and quick-thinking dog lauded for lifesaving rescue at River Forest,” Oct. 12, TribLIVE), rather than the typical front-page stories about political and vaccination battles. Assuming that Tom Kissel was Tater Tot’s owner when the decision was made to save Tater Tot’s life by amputating the cancerous leg rather than “putting him down,” which unfortunately was probably an option, how amazing that the favor was returned. Here’s to many more happy years for Tom and Tater Tot!
