Money is no object for a local man who is doing everything he can to find his beloved dog.
Nearly four months ago (on Nov. 18), Roi Biton let his dogs, Golani and Rona, out to play on a vacant commercial property he was looking to buy near Jones Maltsberger and U.S. Highway 281.
While playing, the dogs found a critter and chased it, but Golani ran after it farther than he was supposed to. Golani, whose fifth birthday is today, ended up running across a canal and into the parking lot nearby at Security Service Bank.
Biton said he couldn t cross the canal, so he got into his truck and drove to the parking lot. Three minutes later, Biton couldn t find his certified emotionally support Bull Terrier anywhere. He has had Golani since he was an 8-week-old pup.
Texas Parks and Wildlife recommends to reserve day passes, campsites ahead of Spring Break

Texans, can you believe Spring Break is around the corner? We can t.
With it nearing, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is asking others to plan ahead and book their day passes and campsite reservations before Spring Break begins. According to a Friday news release, the department is already seeing the spots filling up for the spring and summer months.
Parks that are already seeing a high rate of both day use and overnight reservations include Garner, Inks Lake, Pedernales Falls, Guadalupe River, Mother Neff, and Enchanted Rock state parks. However, there is still some availability, the department noted.
The snowstorm is over, but don t forget about the year-long allergy suffering.
Dr. Kirk Waibel, an allergist with Aspire Allergy & Sinus, told MySA.com he wasn t surprised to see San Antonio land in the Top 20 of The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America s annual ranking of the most challenging places to live with allergies. The Alamo City came in at No. 14, dropping seven spots from its 2020 rank.
It may seem like the drop in ranking is a good thing, but San Antonio s overall score wasn t far from the No. 7 spot – Springfield, MA was at 84.28 while ours was at 81. The report looks at three key factors when ranking – spring and fall pollen scores, over-the-counter medicine use, and availability of allergists. The study, which dates back to 2003, determines the ranking from data available 12 months prior.
