New Home For Ike

Speaking of pet adoptions, there's good news for Ike, the dog that stopped traffic on the Eisenhower a few times earlier this year. WBBM 780 AM reports that Ike has finally been placed in a new home, with an empty nest couple in the suburbs. But there was even more good to come from Ike's adoption than just a new home for that pup. Steve Zorn of Precious Pets Almost Home told WBBM, "Ike directly found homes for about another seven or eight animals, just in the time that I had Ike. Other people that were interested in him and then they ended up adopting another dog from me. We also had some cats that got adopted because of Ike." Ike suffered some injuries, including one sustained when he was clipped by a car on his Eisenhower, but Zorn says he's recovered well and is settling in well with his new family.
