Dale Whitmore

Records editor, Animal Public Record

Dale Whitmore is the records editor at Animal Public Record. Dale's habit is to check the paper trail: the name on the box against the order email, the budget line against the program's announcement, the policy page against what actually happens.

Dale covers public records on animal programs, shelter and wildlife policy, research corrections, and the purchase and billing questions readers bring about pet products. At home there are two small purifiers, one on the kitchen counter and one on the shelf by the back door where a doodle dries off after rainy walks. Dale was a Pup Club member for about four or five months and wrote up exactly how cancelling went.

How Dale works
