The story about the Wiens family and their dog, Lacey, struck a chord with our readers. In addition to a letter from Randy Vogel of Clearwater, readers remain interested in the dog and the circumstances and want to know how to help.

One anonymous reader who signed a the letter, “A local community member who cares,” said he/she hopes others in the community are making efforts to do what they can to support the Wiens family.

The reader said they mailed copies of the story to KAKE-TV in Wichita to the KAKE On Your Side program, requesting assistance.

“Perhaps with a little pressure, Freedom Rescue in Colorado may be willing to act with some common sense,” the writer said.

Our suggestion to readers who want to petition on behalf of the Wiens family is to contact Freedom Rescue Inc. at http://www.goldenretreieverfreedom.com or call (303) 749-8499.
