CONWAY — In mid-January Assistance Canine Training Services (ACTS) announced that they named one of the puppies in their most recent litter Jonesy, after The Conway Daily Sun’s Education/Sports Editor Lloyd Jones.
“Lloyd has covered ACTS for the past 15 years and this tribute is our way of saying thank you,” said ACTS’ Director of Canine Development Robin Crocker.
