Found: Pit Bull Puppy

A dog was found at Idlewood and Idlevale Roads on Friday evening. Who does she belong to?

We were followed home by this little Pit Bull puppy Friday night around 6:30 from Idlewood and Idlevale Roads. She doesn't look at all like a stray and we are hoping we can reunite her with her family as I'm sure they are missing her. Have anyone contact me at the address on this e-mail if this is their puppy. Thanks! Matt Christian

Around the Region: Man Accused of Throwing Baby, Toddler Shoots Self in Thumb and More

A look at top stories from Patch sites across Georgia.

Residents Turn Toxic Site Into Zonolite Park - North Druid Hills Patch An area that was once an asbestos-poisoned wetland is now a new park in the Emory University area just south of North Druid Hills thanks to local volunteers, including the South Fork Conservancy. In an article published on the Saporta Report, Ben Smith wrote, "Zonolite Park is 12 acres near Briarcliff and Clifton Roads, where the South Fork of Peachtree Creek parallels railroad tracks. For two decades beginning in 1950, freight trains stopped at the W.R. Grace Co. plant and dumped as much as 1,225 tons of raw material for attic insulation marketed as Zonolite."

The Truth About Tessa

Photographs don't completely reveal the beauty and charm of Tessa, the cross-eyed pit bull.

At one point during this year's Art B Que, Avondale's signature street party, there was a small crowd gathered around a particular dog crate in the adoption tent manned by LifeLine Animal Project. "Oooooh, look at that face!" one woman squealed. "Omigod, she is so cute," another one commented. A young child of about five years scooted around the group to see what everyone was looking at and came face to face with Tessa the pit bull terrier. He hesitated for a second as their eyes met, then stuck his hand in the crate and stroked one of her large ears. He then yelled for his parents, "I want this one!" His mom and dad gently reminded him of the two dogs they had at home and lured him away with a promise of a treat from King of Pops. As they…
