HOUSTON -- A black lab mix named Gunner sat in a wagon on the tarmac at Hobby Airport on Saturday morning, loving every ounce of attention he was getting. The dog -- content and unafraid -- had been shot twice a few months ago and lost the use of his hind legs.
"I think he knows that we're here to help him," said Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr., who along with his wife, Kara, has helped facilitate the transport of about 150 dogs and cats to California in recent weeks to new homes and new lives.
