Main Street in Sophia was packed for Saturday’s second annual Peanut’s Promise to Pets. Above, Dr. Anna Milano and Mary Ann Milano are shown with their dog Shaddow. The event is named for Peanut, the unofficial Sophia town cat who grabbed attention when he was lost in late 2005 and found in Fayetteville in early 2006. Unlike last year, the black-and-white, gray-striped tabby with four white boots and a raccoon tail could not attend. About a week ago, Peanut was killed when he was hit by a truck while trying to cross the street in downtown Sophia.
