Not only do these birds go through an excruciating death, but people were taking their little children to these cockfights as family entertainment,” explains Guerrero. Just last year she was nominated for a Humane Society Genesis Award for her story about an illegal cockfighting ring in Mobile, Alabama. In between assignments I will meet Scott and the dogs where they are on the road,” says Guerrero.Īs the chief investigative correspondent for Inside Edition, Lisa has covered a wide range of topics. They won’t go with Scott to the ballpark every day, but when they do, they get to go and hang out in the bullpen, and run around the field. Scott does travel by bus a lot with the Indians, so the dogs will travel with him most of the time. “The great thing about having small dogs is they can travel on planes with us. Lisa spent 311 days on the road last year, and Scott travels constantly with the Indians. I couldn’t imagine just having one dog now,” states Guerrero. We now have two small male dogs who are like brothers. We did some research and discovered that Yorkies and Malteses are very compatible. So how did Twinkie come to join your household? “We we’re told dogs are pack animals, and it would be great for Cupcake to have a friend. Cupcake even now has a little jersey of Scott’s team.”
We then took the dog to a 24 hour vet, and as we’re standing there, the vet told us Scott saved the dog’s life. All of a sudden, Cupcake had a seizure, and there was Scott jumping off the couch, running to the kitchen, he grabbed some grape jelly, stuck his fingers into it, and then into Cupcake’s mouth.
Cupcake was sitting there, and Scott wouldn’t even touch him. “I told Scott they were going to put Cupcake down, and let’s just keep him overnight, maybe I can find someone to take him tomorrow. He grew up with German shepherds,” says Guerrero. We were at spring training, and my husband got home and said, “What the ! Scott didn’t like small dogs. The day I rescued Cupcake, I hadn’t told my husband. He is a very tiny Yorkie, hyperglycemic, and was being beaten up by the other dogs when we rescued him,” says Guerrero, “Twinkie is a Maltese, and reminded my husband of a twinkie with a creamy filling.” Cupcake was going to be put down when Lisa rescued him. Lisa is married to former major league pitcher Scott Erickson, who is now a coach with the Cleveland Indians minor league system. “Yes, my husband has a bit of a sweet tooth,” laughs Guerrero. Guerrero currently has two rescue dogs, Cupcake and Twinkie. My dad could never figure out how Snowball got Tweety, as the cage was closed. Mickey was trying to tattle on Snowball, as Mickey had found Tweety underneath the couch. “I was running all around looking for Tweety and Mickey was barking like crazy, the cats were meowing, and our cat Snowball was in hiding. My mom hurried me into my bedroom, as Tweety must have gotten out of his cage. One day when we returned home from church, we opened the door and a bunch of yellow feathers were flying everywhere like a cartoon. “It was a fun home to grow up in, but sometimes the animals’ escapades would get pretty out of hand. Provide Exercise, Discipline, AffectionĪlong with the dogs they rescued, the Guerrero family also had cats and a bird named Tweety.
