Work on the series began in February, when reports came out about a new DNA test that identifies what breeds are in dogs. Woestendiek, who adopted Ace from the city animal shelter in 2005, pursued that and several other avenues on a quest to find his pet's roots and answer the question everybody asks: "Hey, Mister, what kind of dog is that?"
... and a new pet page
Along with the Ace stories each day this week, baltimoresun.com is launching Mutts, a Web page for pet lovers. The documentary version of the Ace series -- or "dogumentary" -- can be seen at baltimoresun.com/mutts.With continuing features by Woestendiek on the adventures of Ace, as well as profiles of animals in shelters awaiting new homes, local pet stories, resources for pet owners and a gallery of pictures, The Sun intends to create a place where readers will find entertaining, informative and free-spirited stories about the animals they love. You can also share favorite photos of your pets by sending them to baltimoresun.com/petphotos.
