- Two black and white photographs used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published September 2, 1976 with captions:
- "Nine-year-old Marion Bruinsma and her mother, Mrs. Janet Bruinsma, right, accept one of the dogs from the animal shelter on Burwell Road. Mrs. Myrna Loveless, left, and Mrs. Margje Okkerse, behind, have been working voluntarily mornings for the last three months, cleaning and feeding the animals and trying to find homes for them rather than allow them to be destroyed. In six months, over 200 dogs have been taken, and Mrs. Loveless proudly reports that "not a single one has come back to the pound". Mrs. Loveless initiated the project of saving the dogs by obtaining donations to pay the board for the animals and advertising in the local paper for homes for them. (Photo by Brian Wilsdon)." (19a)
- "Love for animals has prompted these youngsters to raise money to donate to Mrs. Myrna Loveless' drive to find homes for dogs taken in by the animal shelter and normally destroyed. They have opened their own vegetable stand, with all proceeds going to the project. In the picture, Baron, three-month-old Doberman pinscher is the centre of attention while held by Richard McNicol. The others pictured from left are: Blair Tully, Baron's owner, Kathy Simpson, Sherri McNicol and Chad Moyes, all of Centennial Avenue. (Photo by Brian Wilsdon)." (19b)
