PICTURES AND PLAYING WITH THE £2
DOG. BUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS
WHAT TOOK STEPS BY SURPRISE.
WITHIN LESS THAN A MINUTE. HE
WAS TAKING PHOTOS. HE WALKED OUT
OF THE ROOM AND JUST WALKED
RIGHT OUT OF THE STORE AND THEN
JUST PICKED UP HIS FEET AND
STARTED RUNNING OFF. WE REALLY
WORK WITH OUR CUSTOMERS GETTING
THE DOG MAKING SURE WE’RE
MATCHING THE RIGHT PUPPY WITH
THE RIGHT FAMILY. AND SO THIS
PERSON JUST TAKING THIS DOG
HAVING NO CONTROL. IT’S VERY
SCARY TO NOT KNOW WHAT OUR DOG
IS GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. NO

MALL IN A BLUE OR BLACK PACIFICA

DETROIT PROPERTY VALUES HAVE
RISEN, CREATING A GOOD NEWS. BAD
NEWS SITUATION FOR SOME
HOMEOWNERS, MAYOR MIKE DUGGAN
ANNOUNCED PROPERTY VALUES IN THE
CITY ARE UP 20% BUT HE SAYS NO
ONE WILL SEE A 20% INCREASE IN
THEIR PROPERTY TAX BILL. HOWEVER
MOST PEOPLE WILL SEE SOME
INCREASE IN THEIR TAX OBLIGATION
TO THE CITY AND THE CITY WANTS
EVERYONE TO KNOW THEY’RE WILLING
TO HEAR ANY CONCERNS THAT MAY
ARISE. YOU CAN COME IN. YOU CAN
ASK QUESTIONS. YOU CAN SAY I
DON’T AGREE WITH THIS. WE WILL
EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW WE COMPUTE
THE VALUES. WE WILL GO TO YOUR
PROPERTY. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
IF YOU TELL US THAT THERE’S
SOMETHING ABOUT MY HOUSE THAT
DOESN’T LOOK RIGHT. AND
ASSESSMENTS WILL BE MAILED OUT
