Thanks to everyone who phoned or emailed in, for taking the time to express your comments and concerns. Jim and I hope that you also took the time to listen to the finale this morning just after 8am.

To set the record straight, the entire stunt was a complete fabrication. A combination of dog sound effects, recorded audio of our stunt guy outside the building and personal recordings I did of water splashing using my 3 year old son Logans kiddy pool.

Again...THERE WAS NO DOG. (You can actually see where we found the photo of "Mindy" here http://images.google...&btnG=Search+Images)

After the reveal that there was no dog, Melinda Howard of the Greater Grand Rapids Child Safety Coalition was kind enough to join us live on the air to talk about child safety. She will be leading a child safety class today at Millennium Park between Noon and 3pm.

There was never any intention to drown a dog or bring harm to any animal what so ever. What you heard and the way the show was executed was exactly as we had planned.

What we did this morning, we feel needed to happen to grab the proper attention about the dangers of children and water related accidental deaths.

I have a 3 year old son whom I love dearly and 2 cats. In no way would I, Jim or anyone on our staff bring harm to any animal.

Oops I missed the last of their post on their blog... probably the most important part:

Thanks for listening. Your added comments helped to propel the show and what we wanted and succeeded in accomplishing.

Stupid if you asked me. Stupid but finished.

Idiots.

Hopefully, the schlock jocks will get their attention-seeking butts in a sling for pulling a stunt like this, but I won't hold my breath.

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
