(AP) WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. It could be a first: a dog's memorial service attended by 300 cats.That's what will happen November 19th at the Westchester Cat Show in White Plains, New York, when a schnauzer-Siberian husky mix named Ginny is eulogized.
Ginny's not just any dog, though. She's an honorary cat.Ginny was named Cat of the Year in 1998 for her uncanny skill and bravery in finding and rescuing endangered tabbies.Ginny died in August at age 17, after a long career as a one-dog rescue party for cats on Long Island's South Shore.
The club says she saved hundreds of cats who were abandoned, injured or in harm's way.One time, she threw herself against a vertical pipe at a construction site to topple it and reveal kittens trapped inside.Her owner, Philip Gonzalez, says the adopted shelter dog wasn't trained to do that -- she was "just magical in a way." He's written two books about Ginny.
