As chair of the committee to put together a fundraiser on behalf of the Milford Lions, I would like to take the opportunity to clarify any misconceptions readers may have concerning the dog contest that the Milford Lions will be holding on September 5th. This contest is NOT by any means a contest for dog owners to think that it is to ridicule or seek out ugly dogs. It is not the intention of this contest to do so and anyone thinking so, should be so informed NOW that it is NOT.
