Therapy dogs help make visit to Port special

When Spina Bifida Wisconsin wanted to give its clients the opportunity to visit Port Washington, it reached out to Susan Richison, CEO and owner of the Saukville-based Dawgs at Work, to find a site for the visit where Dawgs at Work therapy dogs could be present. Last week, the two groups met at Possibility Playground, the universally accessible play area in Port’s Upper Lake Park. Gathered at a bench at the playground were (from left) dog handlers Susie Raymond (front) and Linda Lueck, a goldendoodle named Brie, Joy the beagle, 11-year-old Jemma Blechacz, a Labradoodle named Grace and Richison, who also owns Dawgs in Motion.           Photo by Bill Schanen IV
