Michelle Meredith, one of my favorite Orlando TV news reporters, did this report on WESH 2 News about a poor pooch who was left in the trash. Thanks to help from some animal lovers, little pitbull “Harper” is learning to walk and will be up for adoption soon. TVSpy.com says the video is starting to go viral.

Michelle Meredith
This happened a little more than a week ago, but I still wanted to mention it.
If there is an underrated reporter in Central Florida, I think ‘s WESH’s Michelle Meredith. The woman seems like a bulldog when she gets a story.
You may remember, it was Meredith with her little video cam that caught former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich vacationing at Disney World while awaiting word on his indictment by a grand jury. This was after nearly every reporter in town was looking for him across the Disney resort.
Last week, Meredith — again with her video camera — was able to grab a quick chat with Vice President Joe Biden. It came in Philadelphia, where Meredith’s daughter was competing in a crew competition that also included the veep’s granddaughter. And Biden looked just as happy as Blago to see Meredith and her camera.
Did she break news with Biden? No, but it did give us some insight into how he spends his weekends. And honestly, if you are at an event with the vice president, aren’t you going to try to get an interview?

And I’m sure Biden is thinking the interview with Meredith went much better than his last one with an Orlando media member.
Score one for WESH. Reports on Thursday had former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich spotted spending time at Walt Disney World — hours before an expected indictment over allegedly trying to sell Pres. Barack Obama’s senate seat.
All the local media outlets were looking for Blago — and asking readers/viewers to help find the gov. Well, WESH’s dynamo Michelle Meredith found the governor — apparently just minutes before he was indicted back in Illinois. Watch the video and see a very upset Mrs. Blagojevich and someone who decides to act as body guard and chase reporter Meredith away. Click here to watch the WESH video.
