/24-7PressRelease/ - Evanston, IL, August 11, 2008 - Owner of Zeus and Company, David Levy is asking that people remember his beloved Rottweiler, Zeus by making a donation to the Bayport Police Department. Zeus passed away on Sunday, August 3, 2008 after living with cancer for three years.
The Bayport police department is in need of $10,000 to purchase and train a Narcotics Detection and Tracking Canine. Zeus and Company has agreed to provide the new dog with a lifetime of nutrition just as Zeus was fed which helped prolong his life. "I started Zeus and Company when I realized that nutritious food for pets was hard to find, now more and more people are becoming educated and see the numerous benefits of feeding all natural healthy foods" says Levy who had Zeus on all natural products 12 of his 13 years. When Zeus was diagnosed with cancer of the spleen 3 years ago he had a tumor the size of a 16" softball. Some of the best veterinarians in the area gave him to six months to live. Zeus lived three years after being diagnosed and Levy says he believes it was because of the nutrition he gave him.
Levy feels that a police dog would memorialize Zeus and this small town as well. Says Levy, "having a narcotics detection and tracking canine team provides a unique opportunity to promote a safe community".
The canine unit would provide demonstrations promoting drug safety and awareness to individual classrooms at Andersen Elementary School, and would help encourage community policing. The Bayport Police Department would use the canine unit at the Stillwater Correctional facility offering protection to local residents since the facility is surrounded by heavily wooded areas. The canine unit would also be able to detect any smuggling of controlled substances smuggled into the facility.
Zeus was a loyal companion who helped create Zeus and Company, which has been delivering top nutrition for 11 years throughout the Midwest and California. A Narcotics canine would be a perfect way to remember Zeus and all the things he has done for the well-being of pets. To find out more about Zeus and his journey please visit www.ZeusAndCo.com.
