“Paw It Forward” –
A Worthy Cause
Paw It Forward is a volunteer group
of folks who help people who are ill and
need someone to walk their dog. Its services
include picking up and dropping off
your dog on a flexible schedule, taking
out your dog for up to an hour-and-a-half
each week.
Two of our neighbors from Le Havre,
Helene and Phil Oelerich, are members
of the group. They walk Theo, “a lovely
poodle/terrier mix,” Helene said. “We
walk him once a week in Kissena Park
for about an hour.” She added, “The
park is wonderful for children, pets
being walked, people exercising or just
walking around.”
Helene has shared some photos from
one of their recent excursions at the park
with Theo. We hope you’ll find them, as
well as the pictures of the beautiful park,
inspirational!
