Unsavory Partnership? You Decide...

In September of 2023, Anna Cooke, editor of The New Barker, was invited to a private meeting with Martha Boden, CEO of SPCA Tampa Bay (Largo), Dan Cohn, owner of Sunshine Puppies, and Chris Fleming, owner of Pinnacle Pet.

No matter what you’ve heard since, the partnership continues.
