NATIONAL BRIEFING / AND FINALLY . . .
A British couple traveled nearly 4,000 miles, from London to Michigan, to adopt a kitten they found on a pet adoption website.
Rose and Chris Rasmussen arrived in Harrison last week to adopt Sparky from the Clare County Animal Shelter.
They said they wanted the adventure of traveling to the U.S. instead of shipping the cat, who has spent six months in quarantine in preparation for his return with the couple.
Clare County Animal Control Director Dave Gendregske says Sparky is worth the trip because of his “dynamic personality.”
