Posted

The Chicago Tribune issued an apology to readers after it published a Page One story that “contained major inaccuracies” largely due to the dishonesty of a source.

The story by Colleen Mastony, which was in the paper July 21 and online prior to that date, was headlined “After dogs days of summer, longtime ‘best friends’ will part.” It told the story of a blind veteran named John Maley and his guide dog, Cash. The piece has subsequently been removed from the paper’s website.
