On Saturday, June 20 the Malecki family was visiting relatives in Oakville when Zenon Malecki, 60, decided to take his one-year-old Chorkie, Russel, for a walk in the area. Malecki's son Jacob, 25, said the family had only had Russel for a short time, but had already come to the love the little creature, which had been taken in after another family member decided they could no longer care for him. "The dog came to our family during a tough time and he really brought our family together," said Jacob. "My mother fell in love with that dog and so did my dad. My dad would take him on multiple walks each day. He said he never expected to get so attached to a dog." Malecki had taken Russel to Clearview's Kingsford Gardens leash-free see OSPCA p. 8 Alan Blake and his mother Ann Shore try to stay cool with their feet in the water at Lakeside Park Tuesday.
