We wish we knew why the story about the sanctuary didn't air on Good Morning America on Thanksgiving or Friday. To everyone who watched GMA both days waiting to see it, sorry! We knew there were no guarantees that the story would run, but still, we were disappointed. I think it's just in the nature of the TV business. Back in July when the ABC News crew came out, it never occurred to us we'd be sitting here in late November, still waiting to see the story appear!
If you'd like to ask Good Morning America to run the piece, you can do so at the ABC News Web site here. Please remember to be friendly and polite ... we don't want them to get cranky with us, or the story will never appear! But maybe some gentle reminders from folks across the country will help the GMA staff see there are plenty of interested people waiting to see it.
Hi guys, I send an email to GMA as well. Hope that helps. Also, you should know Evening Magazine will again be airing the rolling dog ranch piece we produced next Monday Dec 4th here in Seattle. So if you get a lot of hits or calls you'll know where that came from. Happy Holidays.

Hi Steve and Alayne,
I sent the email below to GMA. Hope it helps.

"I'm eager to see the story on Rolling Dog Ranch, which you filmed last summer. Steve Smith and Alayne Marker embody the holiday spirit of love and generosity in their fabulous work with disabled animals and they do it all 365 days a year. Seeing their happy animals will warm the hearts of viewers this holiday season.
Thanks for giving time on GMA to this deserving charity."

I plan on inquiring with ABC as to when the ranch segment will be aired; thank you for the link Steve, that's helpful for a lot of folks.
We'll make sure to leave the hot branding threat out of the email to ABC! snicker...snicker....
Polite is the tone for the day, I'll stick with that.
