For sale: One lovable puppy

Monday, February 11, 2013

Kole Warren, the 7-year-old son of Amanda and Brian Warren of Culbertson, Nebraska, makes the sales pitch for the Weimaraner puppy that his parents, owners of "Crittersville," donated for a fund-raiser for the Culbertson Public Library Saturday evening. Kole explained the puppy's pedigree to Valerie Loghry of Trenton, and supervised when 7-year-old Ariana Pierson checked out the puppy in his crate. The quiet, well-behaved pup made friends -- up-close and personal -- with auction ringman Paul Harvey, right, and by the time auctioneer Johnny Walker was ready to sell the puppy, Kole didn't appear to be so anxious to let him go.

Preliminary totals indicate that the silent and live auctions, raffles, pulled pork supper and cupcake sales raised about $45,000.
