Fun Facts, Height and Trivia :

As a child, Dawn’s grandfather used to cut her bangs. She would not sit still, so they were often very short and uneven.
A huge animal lover, she uses her social media sites to feature dogs that are scheduled to be euthanized and ask for followers’ help in finding them a home.
In 2016, Dawn’s phone rang while she was live on the air. Although she did not answer it at the time, she later found out it was just her daughter calling to say ‘good night.’

On their first date, Dawn’s husband brought her a “Beware of Dog” sign & a bottle of excellent champagne. He said it would scare off any bad guys since Dawn had just moved into her first home & was still single.
