The Paragould Rotary Club is going to the dogs.  Literally.

The organization will host its first-ever “Paws for a Cause” Dog Show on Saturday, May 4, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Greene County Fairgrounds, 1108 Highway 49B in Paragould.

The nine categories include:  Best Tail Wagger, Cutest Puppy, Looks Most Like Owner, Most Macho, Most Beautiful, Most Talented, Best Kisser, Most Handsome and Best Costume.

A Harrisburg man was charged with animal cruelty Wednesday after Jonesboro police say he left a puppy in the toolbox of his pickup truck while he shopped.

Around 5 p.m. Officer Michael McCanless was called to the Walmart parking lot, 1815 E. Highland.

When he arrived, he heard a puppy yelping from inside a toolbox at the back of a 2009 Ford F-150 XLT pickup truck. 

Witnesses told the officer the puppy had been inside the box for at least 20 minutes.
