How to Beat the Summer Heat by Lou Dillon

By

Lou Dillon would like to remind everyone to stay hydrated this summer!

Lou Dillon was found running in traffic in Watts (on Lou Dillon Ave). People were dodging him with their cars and throwing trash at him. He had barbed wire around his neck and he was 600 lbs underweight.

A kind citizen got him into their yard. It was pouring rain so he covered Lou Dillon with a trash bag and called 911. The nice LAPD officers got him to safety and then called us. It took many months to get him back to health and help him recover from his ordeal.

Lou Dillon now lives his best life at Hanaeleh and loves to provide helpful tips for staying cool in the summer heat.

Did you know you can sponsor Lou Dillon for as little as $10/month? He will never be hungry again thanks to our awesome donors. Can you help us too? Click HERE.
