Holiday outreach groups like the Salvation Army are in their final stretch of collecting money this season, which is why one Kentucky woman has gotten creative to help boost donations.

She says when she brings her dog along to her spot at the local grocery store, donations nearly double.

She hopes to be doing this for many years to come since Brandy is just two years old. Map My News

The fire brigade was no longer hiring Dalmations so he got a job as bell ringer.

I wonder how much money she would raise if she trained a cat to ring the bell.

Dogs pick up more girls too.

When I was younger, all I had to do was walk my dog through the park and women would stop and talk with me.
