ICYMI: Lake Grove Girl Aims To Help Pets With Hospitalized Owners

LAKE GROVE, NY — Victoria Glass is using her love of animals not only to complete her Girl Scouts Gold Award project but to make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners.

Victoria, 15, of Lake Grove, is working on her Animal Care Emergency Directive — or "ACED for Animals" — which will help pets whose owners become incapacitated while driving.

ACED will feature a magnet that is placed on a car, which would indicate the driver has a neon green envelope in their glove compartment listing the person or people designated to care for their pet in the event the driver is taken to the hospital for medical care. The pet could be in the car or at the driver's home. The envelope would hold contact information for a trusted person to care for the driver's pets right away.
