Booker Again Comes to Aid of a Dog
For the second time this year, Booker helps rescue a pooch from reportedly harsh conditions.
That doggone mayor is at it again.
Cory Booker responded to a tweet June 27 from a private citizen who expressed concern over the welfare of a dog being kept in a tiny crate at a Goldsmith Avenue home. The mayor of the state’s largest city and Democratic candidate for US Senate then went to the address himself, describing the conditions via Twitter as “Inhumane & cruel” to the animal.
Booker contacted animal control officers, who brought the dog to a shelter.
