Lidia Vesterfelt with Michigan Humane appeared on Live in the D to discuss Spay & Neuter Awareness Month and to introduce our Pet of the Week, a dog named Bowser.

As a candidate for the White House, President Donald Trump once said he wanted whatever is best for the residents of the nations capital. But over the course of his more than three years in office a disconnect between the president and District of Columbia has emerged. Aides to the mayor said Trump told Bowser her concerns were on his radar, but he made no commitments. Similarly, Trump told her the issue would be addressed when she initially complained about the matter during a White House conference call with governors in late March. The White House declined to comment.
