The coronavirus pandemic, protests over the police killing of George Floyd, the Blue Ridge fire, lockdowns, and the closing of schools rocked the Chino Valley and the rest of the nation during this extraordinary year.
The devastation was matched by the goodness of residents who helped school children cope with social isolation, collected food and items for those hit hardest by the pandemic, and rallied around frontline healthcare workers.
Barely had the year begun when the coronavirus pandemic originating in Wuhan, China spread across the globe resulting in 334,000 deaths in the United States by the end of the year.
There were 11 deaths in Chino Hills and 70 in Chino, with 26 of those at the California Institution for Men in Chino and one at the California Institution for Women.
This holiday season like no other in our history. So many of our neighbors are experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, health concerns and loss, and it is heartbreaking.

Sweet Pea, a tiny Chihuahua from southern California, was missing for five years. Then came the good news for her owners.
Sweet Pea managed to roam 30 miles from home five years ago. In Covina, the Inland Valley Humane Society was able to reunite Sweet Pea with her owner, thanks to her microchip. She appeared to be healthy and well-fed, but there’s no word about what she’d been up to for five years.
Jack & Carolyn talked about this on the Morning Breeze. Listen here:
Just Google âheartwarming dog stories,â and you will find hundreds.Â
Dogs have sniffed out bombs, found victims trapped in collapsed buildings, warned owners of danger, saved lives and calmed anxious souls.Â
Lost dogs have been reunited with their owners after long absences. Â
Humans have rescued dogs. In fact, this year Time Magazine named all rescued dogs the âPet of the Yearâ before ever naming âPerson of the Year.â Â
Here are a few senior rescue stories that touched my soul because a year ago I adopted a senior. I hope they warm your heart during this holiday season.
