Seeking Mystery Dog Food Donor

I, Bernie Harberts, did not use generative AI to write or illustrate this article. Spell check and grammar check, yes. AI, no.

The lady’s voice on my voicemail said (and I paraphrase):

“Hi Bernie. This is Debbie at the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds in Casper. We received a bag of dog food in your name. What would you like us to do with it?”

Fantastic! People are so generous out here. There’s only one problem with this well-intended gift.

I don’t own a dog.

To the mystery donor I say, “you rock!”

I’d love to know who you are. Leave me a comment in the Comment Section (below) or drop me an email.

Or, if you prefer the mystery of a major donor who likes to remain unnamed, you can remain anonymous.

Either way, I was touched by your gift.

I will tell Debbie to donate the dog food to a shelter or the nearest lingering pooch.

Whoever you are, know that your gift brought happiness, and a smile, on many levels.

Mules Brick and Cracker and I are currently (September 28) waiting out 4 days of snow and rain in Alpine, Wyoming.
