Putting his best paw forward: Haddonfield’s furriest celebrity
When Haddonfield resident Michele Schaffer first met her certified therapy dog Aladdin, he was in brutal shape. Severely emaciated with two broken back legs and 12 missing teeth, he wasn’t easy to look at, Schaffer said. Four years later, Aladdin is also one of 30 dogs in the nation nominated for the American Humane Association’s “2017 Hero Dog Award” for his therapy work.
